Donald Trump on Friday dismissed Hillary Clinton’s claim that she did not know what classification markings on her emails signified during her time as secretary of state, saying that she was either intentionally lying or "she's not an intelligent person."

The release of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's report on the interview with the Democratic nominee shows Clinton seemed to have a limited understanding of how to discern what material was sensitive information.


When asked by investigators how she failed to notice markings with the letter “C” on her emails – an indication of classified material according to the FBI – Clinton said she did not know what it meant and speculated “it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order."

The former secretary of state added that she "did not pay attention to the 'level' of classified information and took all classified information seriously."

Trump took exception to Clinton's comments Friday.

“With respect to these FBI notes, where she didn’t know what the letter C was, now that’s a lie,” the Republican nominee told Philadelphia’s WCAU station Friday. “Unless she’s not an intelligent person. That’s a total lie.”

The New York mogul also mocked Clinton for having failed the Washington, D.C. bar exam in 1973, a jab he made days prior on Twitter.

“She didn’t know what the letter C was. Now, she did fail her bar exams in Washington D.C., so maybe she wouldn’t know, I don’t know,” he said. “But to think that Hillary Clinton doesn’t understand what the letter C is.”
