New York, Sept 7 (Reuters): Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Wednesday defended her handling of classified information from a private email server at a televised ”commander-in-chief” forum that paired her with Republican Donald Trump in separate appearances. But moderator Matt Lauer doggedly pressed her about her handling of emails from a private server as President Barack Obama's first-term secretary of state. FBI Director James Comey had said she was “extremely careless” in her handling of classified material but decided not to prosecute her. Trump has condemned the war during his presidential campaign and said he would avoid lengthy conflicts in the Middle East. On the US intervention in Libya in 2011, Clinton rejected Trump's criticism of her support for the effort as secretary of state.
