Hillary Rodham Clinton has released a novel under her name, State of Terror, in which critics claim she gets even with Joe Biden and Donald Trump for beating her to the White House by characterizing one as a “fool” and the other as “terrifying” and dangerous. The novel, released last Tuesday, is a political thriller following the fictional contretemps surrounding the career of a new U.S. Secretary of State, “Ellen Adams,” as she rushes to solve a public response to a terror plot against the country.

There’s a moment in “State of Terror,” the new thriller by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny, when the protagonist – Ellen Adams, a spunky and fearless female secretary of State – visits former President Eric Dunn at his palatial Florida estate and attempts to describe the spell he casts. “To be in his orbit was to experience something extraordinary. There was a pull, a promise of excitement. Of danger. Like juggling grenades. It was exhilarating. And terrifying. Even she could feel it.” What I could feel on that page was Clinton wrestling with how she could have lost the...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced she's coming out with a new book, one she says isn't like her previous written work. "State of Terror" is described as a political thriller that seems to resemble a bit of Clinton's resume. The plot follows the appointment of a woman chosen as the secretary of state by a new president, who's a "political enemy" of hers, and how a series of terrorist attacks prompt an "international chess game" involving countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran and even "the Russian mob."

One of the glummer aspects of advancing years is seeing all your more whimsical jokes become literally true. So it has now been announced that Hillary Rodham Clinton will be writing a "thriller". Plot spoiler: It was Putin. With the Macedonian Content Farmers. In a $100,000 Facebook ad. Well, no. It will surely be a little more thrilling than that. Mrs Clinton will be collaborating with Louise Penny, who writes (to me not entirely persuasive) police procedurals set in Quebec's Eastern Townships, a short tootle north of me, if you can get across the shuttered border. If I'd known Hillary...

In a short video clip promoting their new book, “The Book of Gusty Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience,” Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Rodham Clinton explained what they believed defined a “gusty” woman. While the tweet was liked more than 33,000 times, there are a number of comments criticizing their message, including one from Juanita Broaddrick. “Give me a damn break, Hilly,” she tweeted in response. “You wouldn’t know gutsy if it kicked you in the A$$. You’ve been shielded and protected all your life. Be assured, I will never give up telling the world about you and your...

Eleven days before the November 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton was shocked when she learned that the FBI had reopened the investigation into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state. But instead of falling apart, a new book reveals that the presidential candidate comforted her top aide, Huma Abedin, who was sobbing because her then-husband, disgraced New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, was to blame. “It was wrenching to watch the pain this news caused Huma,” writes the former head of communications for Clinton’s campaign, Jennifer Palmieri, in her upcoming book, Dear Madam President: An...

Huma Abedin broke down in tears in front of her boss, Hillary Clinton, when she learned that her sext-happy husband Anthony Weiner’s computer was the reason the FBI reopened its probe into Clinton’s emails so close to the 2016 election, according to a new report. “He is going to kill me,” Abedin sobbed, referring to Weiner. Clinton — who herself should have been crying at the news just days before Americans went to the polls that Nov. 8 — hugged Abedin and managed to calm her down. The tableau comes from a new book, “Dear Madam President: An Open Letter...

A part of me wants this lady to go away, another wants her to continue to give the Democratic Party migraines; sheÂ’s also great for boosting the GOPÂ’s enthusiasm. Hillary Clinton just continues to make her way into the spotlight. With the latest accusations of sexual misconduct against Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, and Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Hillary decided to give her two-cents on Rita CosbyÂ’s radio show last week, noting that accountability has to be exacted regarding these allegations. I bet you can guess what happened next? Cosby asked about the allegations surrounding...

Time magazine released a list of 2017's best non-fiction books Tuesday, and the winning author is the candidate who finished second in the presidential election. Hillary Clinton's election memoir What Happened grabbed Time‘s No. 1 spot. The blurb accompanying the book's position on the list reads, "Clinton offers one answer to the question that rang collectively from more than half the country on Nov. 9, 2016. The writing is frank, reflective and a piece of modern history." Clinton tweeted that she was honored for her placement the list. ✔ Wow. I wasn’t sure how letting my guard down would go...but...

https://twitter.com/_/status/925102789449183232 Monday in Chicago at a signing for her book “What Happened,” former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was asked about the charges special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe brought against Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos.

Edward Klein, who has written several books about the Clintons and Kennedys, has a hotly anticipated book, “All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump,” out Oct. 30. In the meantime, he reveals that Hillary Clinton’s finger-pointing book, “What Happened” — which is chock-full of excuses for her shocking election loss to Donald Trump — may be a best seller, but Bill Clinton tossed his copy in the trash can and is heartsick over his wife’s current blame-game book tour. “Before Hillary sent the manuscript to her publisher, she gave it to Bill to read, and he made major changes...

Supporters of Trump and Sanders, meanwhile, were outside the event trading jabs at Clinton and taking pictures together while holding up signs, according to a tracking video posted by the NTK Network. One Sanders supporter complimented the Trump backers multiple times and said they were more well-mannered than Clinton supporters after taking a picture with two of them, one of whom was holding a sign that read, "What happened in Benghazi." Another Sanders supporter held up a sign that said, "One person. One vote. #DNCLeaks #ElectionFraud," which appeared to reference WikiLeaks publicizing Democratic National Committee emails that showed top officials...

Former U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took to a Toronto stage Thursday night in front of a cheering audience of thousands, a scene reminiscent of the campaign trail she left behind on Nov. 8, 2016. Her electoral loss was almost a year old, but the sting is clearly still fresh. “There were times when I just wanted to pull the covers over my head,” Clinton said of her failed campaign. The appearance in Toronto was part of a 15-city tour to promote her newly released memoir, What Happened. And, like her memoir, the speech darted between reasons for her electoral...

What Happened was Hillary Rodham Clinton, so readers need only glimpse the cover to explain Hillary’s loss in the 2016 election. On the other hand, Clinton’s current book tour, including a stop on C-SPAN, is another story. The loser still may think she has a shot at winning, as long as special counsel Robert Mueller is on the job. Former FBI boss Mueller is a longtime pal of former FBI boss James Comey, a friend of the Clintons from way back. As a U.S. Attorney, Comey closed out the New Square clemency case, a gift to the Clintons, and he...

I thought I would avoid having anything to say about Hillary Clinton’s latest book. I thought the book, “What Happened,” was meant to be some sort of cathartic Hillary Clinton 3.0 end of the story. I thought it would be accompanied by a graceful farewell tour. I forgot: The Clintons don’t do graceful, and they certainly don’t do farewells. Instead, Clinton is thrashing around in front of the faithful, having pity parties and making news that has caught the attention of Republicans everywhere. Incredibly, Clinton herself declares that she is anything but done. She isn’t on a farewell tour or...

Hillary Clinton is telling her side of what happened during the 2016 election at a Washington, D.C., event aimed at promoting her new memoir "What Happened." According to the event page, the memoir focuses on "Hillary's experience as a woman in politics." In addition, the memoir "reveals what she was thinking and feeling during one of the most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections in history." During an interview on Monday with NPR's Terry Gross, Clinton said she wouldn't rule out questioning the legitimacy of the 2016 election if new information surfaced about Russian interference. She, however, said there may not...

Hillary Clinton is on week two of her What Happened book tour and most of the interview questions so far have been softballs from some of her favorite media outlets. But during an interview with PBS' Judy Woodruff, Clinton was asked about the impact of Bill Clinton's secret June 2016 meeting with then Attorney General Loretta Lynch. To say the least, the former Secretary of State was not amused. "To what extent did Loretta Lynch and President Clinton make a costly mistake?" Woodruff asked. "Judy, I just don't by that. Honestly, I reject that premise," Clinton responded.

Hillary Clinton said she wouldn’t rule out challenging the legitimacy of the 2016 presidential election if Russian interference turned out to be deeper than previously thought. “No, I wouldn't rule it out,” she said in an interview with NPR published Monday. The defeated Democratic nominee stressed, however, that she does not believe there is a means to officially challenge the election’s outcome.

In an appearance on ABC’s The View Wednesday, Hillary Clinton was more circumspect in describing the possibility of Trump campaign collusion with Russia than she was a day before. On Tuesday in an interview published by USA Today, Clinton said “I’m convinced of it” when asked about collusion. Today, Clinton said, “There’s a lot of smoke and whether or not there’s fire, we need to figure it out.” Asked if President Trump would remain in office for his full term, Hillary replied, “I don’t know and I don’t think anybody does know.” She continued, “I think that there is a...

Hillary Clinton was stunned when then-FBI Director James Comey reopened the agency's investigation into her private email server just days before the 2016 election, she told TODAY on Wednesday in her first live interview since the race. "I thought what is he doing … the investigation is closed," Clinton said about Comey's Oct. 28 letter that reintroduced his agency's probe of her emails. "I was just dumbfounded," she added. "It became clear this was not necessary, he could have called me up."
