Ex-US Secretary of State reluctant to vote for Hillary Clinton because her husband is ‘still d***ing bimbos at home’
Colin Powell, who served in the President Bush administration, made the claims over email
FORMER US Secretary of State Colin Powell wrote that he did not want to vote for Hillary Clinton because her husband is “still d***ing bimbos at home”, leaked emails show.
The Republican, who served in the President Bush administration, had been previously shown to have labelled Donald Trump a “national disgrace” in communication with pals.
Now more leaked emails from the retired four-star Army general, 79, show how he also took shots at Hillary Clinton – also running for the White House - in a series of stunning revelations.
According to the hacker website DCLeaks, he wrote: “I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect.
“A 70-year person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still d***ng bimbos at home (according to the NYP).”
NYP is believed to be a reference to allegations that Bill Clinton enjoyed visits from a buxom blonde mistress – dubbed the energiser – reported in the New York Post.
The July 26, 2014, e-mail, to Democratic donor Jeffrey Leeds, came days after the story appeared in the newspaper.
The New York Post report cited Ronald Kessler’s book “The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents” which was released in August of that year.
Asked about the email’s authenticity, Powell wrote to the New York Post on Wednesday and said: “Jeez, don’t remember this one. Best to ignore, don’t you think?”
That email was in response to one Leeds wrote which contained some comments saying how former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani – a big Trump backer - thought Clinton would win the election.
Leeds also told Powell that Clinton “HATES” President Obama in emails between the two men that were first obtained by website The Intercept.
In reference to the upcoming presidential election, he said: “It's the one prize she wants.
“She has everything else. And she HATES the President ('that man' as the Clintons call him) kicked her a** in 2008. She can't believe it or accept it.”
In another March 2015 email exchange between the two the men talks about Clinton's health – which has been in the spotlight following her collapse at the 9/11 memorial service on Sunday.
Leeds claims that another senator informed him Clinton “could barely climb the podium steps” when the two gave a speech at an event.
Powell added, in another leaked email: “On HD TV she doesn't look good. She is working herself to death.”
