A SHOCKING tape recording of Hillary Clinton talking about rigging an election has emerged online.

Recorded in 2006 when the then-Senator Clinton was running for re-election, the Democratic presidential candidate is heard discussing an election in Palestine with a journalist.

While talking to Eli Chomsky, editor of the Jewish Press, the former First Lady admits America should have “done something to determine who was going to win” the recent vote.

The election in question decided the Palestinian Legislative Council, in January of that year, in which Hamas won comfortably against the US-preferred candidate Fatah.

To Chomsky’s astonishment, Senator Clinton seemed to suggest that America should have ‘fixed’ the election.

She said: “I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake.

“And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”

The Jewish Press has given the tape to the Observer which has published the explosive recording for the first time.

Speaking with the news outlet, Chomsky admits she was shocked that “anyone could support the idea—offered by a national political leader, no less—that the US should be in the business of fixing foreign elections.”

The tape is even more pertinent following Presidential rival Donald Trump’s claims that the American election could be ‘rigged’.

Clinton has also criticised the Republican nominee for cosying up to Russian leader Vladimir Putin despite the Kremlin’s perceived disregard for democracy and freedom of speech.

The former Secretary of State’s double digit lead in election has been slashed to just two points following the revelation that the FBI has re-opened their investigation into her emails.

Clinton slammed FBI director James Comey over his “strange, unprecedented and deeply troubling” decision.

She insisted that voters deserved the full facts about the probe with next week’s Presidential vote looming.

She said: “It’s pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information, right before an election.

“In fact, it’s not just strange it’s unprecedented and it’s deeply troubling.

“Voters deserve to get full and complete facts. And so we call on Director Comey to explain everything right away.”
