Hillary Clinton’s latest book is on “gutsy women,” and, as they say, it takes one to know one. The former first lady, senator, secretary of state, and 2016 presidential nominee took shots at President Donald Trump, his ego and what she called his “illegitimate” election, while promoting her latest book that she co-authored with her daughter, “The Book of Gutsy Women.” “I believe he knows he’s an illegitimate president,” she told CBS’s Jane Pauley in an interview that aired Sunday. “He knows. He knows that there were a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out the way it did. And I take full responsibility for those parts of it that I should. But hey, it was like applying for a job and getting 66 million letters of recommendation, and losing to a corrupt human tornado.”

Her interview came as Trump faces an impeachment inquiry launched by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) into his attempts to coerce the Ukrainian president into investigating former Vice President Joe Biden, whom Trump might face in 2020. It also came following news that the State Department is revamping its investigation into emails sent to Clinton’s private email server while she was secretary of state. Trump has repeatedly asserted that she committed a crime and should be jailed. “History will probably sort it all out. So of course, he’s obsessed with me. And I believe that it’s a guilty conscience, insomuch as he has a conscience,” Clinton said of Trump’s relentless ongoing attacks on her at rallies and on social media.

So of course, he’s obsessed with me. And I believe that it’s a guilty conscience.
