Legendary journalist and Hillary Clinton biographer Carl Bernstein — made famous for his work exposing the Watergate scandal — says she has a “difficult relationship with the truth.”

“We have to look at what politicians do in terms of fudging,” Bernstein said on CNN. “It’s endemic in the profession. She’s become a specialist at it.”

“Why has she become a specialist?” he asked rhetorically. “It has to do partly with the peculiarities of the Clinton situation. It had partly to do with the history of Bill Clinton and women and she’s had to defend him. It’s been very difficult to do with the whole truth and nothing but the truth. She’s been in a difficult position.”
