Hillary Jabs At Trump For Flushing Papers Down His Toilet

Hillary Clinton jokingly jabbed at former President Donald Trump in a tweet amid reports that he periodically flushed papers down the toilet in the White House residence, Shawma Mizelle reported for CNN.

"Just in time for Galentine's Day, and the news that Trump was flushing documents down White House toilets...," Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate and former secretary of state, tweeted promoting a new hat that reads "but her emails."

Her nonprofit organization Onward Together is selling the hat as part of its fundraising efforts. Her mention of "Galentine's Day" in the tweet is a nod to the NBC television series "Parks and Recreation," which popularized the term.

Clinton's tweet comes after reports this week that then-President Trump would often tear up documents, drafts, and memos after reading them. The revelation of Trump's toilet-flushing habit was first revealed Thursday by Maggie Haberman, a New York Times journalist and author of the forthcoming book "Confidence Man" about Trump.

The hat Clinton promoted in the tweet references her use of a personal email account on a private server during her tenure as secretary of state under the Obama administration. The FBI investigated the matter, and then-FBI Director James Comey said in 2016 that Clinton was "extremely careless" but ultimately determined she should not be charged.

The email controversy prompted also prompted an internal State Department investigation that found Clinton didn't deliberately mishandle classified information.

Clinton established her nonprofit organization after losing the 2016 presidential election with a mission to support progressive leaders and organizations. As a part of the fundraising efforts, the organization sells merchandise using Clinton's likeness and name.

Trump frequently referenced the Clinton email probe on the campaign trail in 2016, referring to it as "the biggest political scandal since Watergate." The "but her emails" hat has already sold out.
