"Colin Powell just proved again how dishonest Hillary Clinton is after he busted her for trying to pin the email scandal on him — one more Hillary Clinton lie," Trump said at a rally in Akron, Ohio.

Powell said this weekend Clinton's campaign has been trying to use him to help justify her use of a private email server while secretary of State.

Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, told FBI investigators that Powell recommended to her that she use a private email account. But Powell disputed her story.

“Her people have been trying to pin it on me,” Powell, who was secretary of State under President George W. Bush, told People at an event in the Hamptons this weekend. “The truth is she was using [her email setup] for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did.”

Clinton has faced constant criticism from Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, for her email practices while serving as secretary of State, and Trump's Monday attacks were fueled by the most recent developments.

On Monday, news surfaced that the FBI uncovered nearly 15,000 previously undisclosed documents sent directly to or from Clinton. The documents were found during the FBI investigation into Clinton's use of a personal email server while leading the State Department.

"Hillary Clinton said she turned over all of her work-related emails. She testified to Congress under penalty of perjury. Now we learn about another 15,000 emails she failed to turn over, and they've just been discovered," Trump said.
