Remember how Hillary Clinton claimed that she only used one e-mail address as Secretary of State, because she didn’t want to have to juggle multiple smartphones? Well, surprise! Turns out some new e-mails show that’s 100% false.

They also assured the American public that she only used one private email address. Here is part of her campaign’s statement on the matter, released on March 10th:

“Secretary Clinton used one email account during her tenure at State,” it read.

One of Clinton’s attorneys, David Kendall, even denied the existence of a second email address in a statement issued to Rep. Trey Gowdy the same month:

“As explained in my March 4th, 2015 email to your Staff Director and certain others, “[email protected]” is not an address that existed during Secretary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State,” the statement read.

Then, this came out. Behold: An email from “[email protected],” dated April 8, 2011.

The New York Times, while digging into emails Clinton sent about Libya, found a series of emails contradicting the Clinton camp’s statements.

The newly discovered email address seems to have been used throughout 2011 and 2012, roughly half of the time she served as Secretary.

Even if Clinton’s story was true, it doesn’t make it much better — who wants a president that can’t handle having more than one smartphone? But of course, her story wasn’t true, because the Clintons are seemingly allergic to the truth like vampires are allergic to sunlight.
