Democrats are on edge over Hillary Clinton’s
forthcoming book that is likely to dredge up the controversies
surrounding her 2016 defeat to President Trump, just as the out-of-power
party is trying to "move on" and chart a course back to the majority.The former secretary of state, U.S.
senator and first lady who added Democratic presidential nominee to her
resume last year apparently isn’t done with public life. She plans to
release her book, “What Happened,” next month and reportedly will focus
the memoir in part on the role that Moscow’s meddling and former FBI
Director Comey’s public statements about her email investigation played
in her defeat.But Bloomberg reports
that Democrats are privately concerned that Clinton’s book will help
Trump, by fueling his case that Democrats are going after him because
they’re bitter.The feeling in the party was captured by Sen. Al
Franken’s comment in June that she and the party have to “move on” from
her shock loss.Other prominent Democrats also have needled Clinton for her post-defeat comments.In an interview last month, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., suggested it’s time to look forward.
