Like other incidents during her decades in public life, Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state has raised serious questions about her honesty, willingness to skirt the law and her opaque mixing of official business with political expediency and personal enrichment.
Below is a timeline of Clinton's statements in speeches, campaign stops and interviews regarding her emails, and how the evolving issue has unfolded to date:
Feb. 1, 2013: Clinton formally resigns as secretary of state.
Aug. 28, 2014: Patrick Kennedy, the State Department's under secretary of state for Management, sends a memo to agency leadership detailing senior official record management responsibilities and clarifying specific electronic email policies that had been in place, Kennedy said, since 2009.
Nov. 12, 2014: Kennedy sends a letter to former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills and other former secretary representatives seeking responses to a Federal Records Act request.
Dec. 5, 2014: Clinton turns over more than 30,000 emails, totaling 55,000 pages, from her private server.
In an accompanying letter to Kennedy, Mills says Clinton "at times" carried email correspondences out via a personal account, but that it was "[Clinton's] practice to use the officials' government electronic mail accounts" when conducting government business.
March 2, 2015: The New York Times reports Clinton used a personal email account during her State Department tenure, "possibly" breaking federal rules requiring officials' communications be retained for the agency's record.
March 5, 2015: Clinton tweets for the first time about her emails: "I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible."
March 10, 2015: Clinton holds her first press conference regarding her emails: "I did it for convenience and I now, looking back, think that it might have been smarter to have those two devices from the very beginning." She says no government-related emails were deleted, and adds it is "undisputed" all State Department rules were followed.
March 10, 2015: Clinton's office releases an official statement and Q&A on her emails.
April 12, 2015: Clinton announces she's running for president of the United States.

"People across the government knew I used one device," Clinton tells CNN.
July 17, 2015: Two inspectors general identify top secret information in Clinton emails for the first time.

"I never sent classified material on my email, and I never received any that was marked classified," Clinton says.

"What, like with a cloth or something? No," she tells Fox News' Ed Henry when asked whether she intentionally wiped her personal emails from her server before turning it over to the State Department. Clinton replies, "I have no idea. That's why we turned it over."
Sept. 4, 2015: MSNBC interview with Andrea Mitchell.
"So at the end of the day, I am sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions," Clinton tells Mitchell. She apologizes for the controversy surrounding her private email server, but stands by her decision to use it.
Sept. 8, 2015: ABC interview with David Muir.
"That was a mistake. I'm sorry about that. I take responsibility," Clinton tells Muir, adding that her original explanation "didn't sit well with the American people."
Sept. 20, 2015: CBS interview with John Dickerson.
Clinton reiterates previous talking points. "I'm sorry that I made a choice that has raised all of these questions," Clinton says, "because I don't like reading that people have questions about what I did and how I did it."
Sept. 27, 2015: MSNBC interview with Chuck Todd.
"Well, it's like a drip, drip, drip," Clinton tells Todd. When asked if she was certain FBI investigations wouldn't find new things and involve Clinton explaining them, Clinton says: "All I can tell you is that when my attorneys conducted this exhaustive process, I did not participate."
Oct. 13, 2015: CNN hosts the first Democratic debate in Las Vegas.
"I have been as transparent as I know to be," Clinton says when asked about her ability to handle larger "crises" than an email server. "Well, I've taken responsibility for it. I did say it was a mistake. What I did was allowed by the State Department, but it wasn't the best choice."
Oct. 16, 2015: CNN interview with Jake Tapper.
"First of all, nothing — and I will underscore, nothing — that I was sent or that I sent was marked classified," Clinton tells Tapper in an interview leading up to her Benghazi testimony. "I think that this is a complicated issue for even sophisticated folks to understand."

Jan. 30, 2016: MSNBC interview with Monica Alba.
