It might not have the ring of "Read my lips: No new taxes," but Hillary Clinton is promising not to set up any new private e-mail servers if she's elected president.

Clinton's use of a private e-mail system while US secretary of state was revealed this year, causing controversy for the former First Lady and US senator as she seeks the Democratic presidential nomination. In an interview with The Des Moines Register editorial board yesterday, an editor asked Clinton how she would promote transparency if elected president "in light of your private e-mail server."

"Well, you can count on me not to have a private e-mail server," Clinton said, drawing laughs from editors. In addition, Clinton said she'd like to have technology experts examine how government agencies can share more information with the public.

"The explosion of information is just overwhelming, and the government is woefully behind technically," she said. "It’s really hard when you are running a government in 2015 that is not yet in the 21st century."

The White House should form "a deep partnership for a couple of years with the technology experts and really go agency by agency trying to figure out how to make them more efficient, more transparent," Clinton said.

Clinton has previously called her use of private e-mail as Secretary of State a "mistake." Clinton's use of private e-mail was discovered when State Department officials were responding to congressional document requests related to the 2012 Benghazi attack and realized they had "relatively few e-mail records from former Secretary Clinton," a department spokesperson told The Washington Post.

The FBI has recovered personal and work-related e-mails that Clinton said she deleted, as it continues its investigation into "how and why classified information ended up on Clinton’s server," Bloomberg reported yesterday.
