00:00:00.076 --> 00:00:07.318
Now, the former U.S. first lady and secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, is opening up about her life in the political spotlight.

2
00:00:07.523 --> 00:00:12.975
Now, her memoir -- it's called Hard Choices -- hits store shelves across the United States today.

3
00:00:13.369 --> 00:00:18.534
And senior political correspondent Brianna Keilar reports it is once again raising the question:

4
00:00:19.141 --> 00:00:21.778
Will she run for president in 2016?

5
00:00:23.165 --> 00:00:29.119
Hillary Clinton in an interview with ABC News found herself in the awkward position of defending her wealth.

6
00:00:29.338 --> 00:00:32.451
We came out of the White House not only dead broke but in debt.

7
00:00:33.403 --> 00:00:43.879
We had no money when we got there and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education.

8
00:00:43.928 --> 00:00:47.465
Houses, plural. Clinton's opponents jumped on that.

9
00:00:47.587 --> 00:00:50.049
"Shamelessly out of touch," the RNC declared.

10
00:00:50.306 --> 00:00:53.308
America Rising, the leading anti-Hillary super PAC,

11
00:00:53.370 --> 00:00:58.790
tweeted pictures of the Clintons' two multimillion dollar homes and their Hamptons vacation rental.

12
00:00:59.186 --> 00:01:00.405
That mistake aside,

13
00:01:00.526 --> 00:01:06.625
Clinton's first big interview, as her new memoir Hard Choices goes on sale, showed a more personal side,

14
00:01:06.941 --> 00:01:12.823
even as she spoke about Monica Lewinsky, who resurfaced last month writing an essay for Vanity Fair.

15
00:01:12.995 --> 00:01:16.439
Is there anything you would say to her, about her life?

16
00:01:16.436 --> 00:01:17.376
Well, I would wish her well.

17
00:01:17.397 --> 00:01:26.447
I hope that she is able to, you know, think about her future and construct a life that she finds meaning and satisfaction in.

18
00:01:26.706 --> 00:01:30.085
She talked about moving beyond the toughest time in her life.

19
00:01:30.613 --> 00:01:36.330
Somebody said, "Forgiveness is releasing a prisoner and discovering the prisoner was yourself."

20
00:01:36.607 --> 00:01:44.084
I am 100 percent in the camp that says forgiveness is mostly about the forgiver.

21
00:01:45.347 --> 00:01:50.759
I know too many people, having now lived as long as I have, who can never get over it.

22
00:01:50.795 --> 00:01:56.474
The softer side of Hillary Clinton -- one we haven't seen since the 2008 campaign.

23
00:01:57.017 --> 00:02:01.894
This is very personal for me. It's not just political. It's not just public.

24
00:02:02.380 --> 00:02:06.352
That appeal, though convincing, came too late. Not this time.

25
00:02:06.802 --> 00:02:13.792
When you're in the spotlight as a woman, you know you're being judged constantly.

26
00:02:13.978 --> 00:02:19.662
I mean, it is just never ending. And you get a little, you know, worried about,

27
00:02:19.761 --> 00:02:26.745
OK, well, you know, people over on this side are loving what I'm wearing, looking like and saying.

28
00:02:26.798 --> 00:02:28.193
And people on this side aren't.

29
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:33.463
And how ... you know, your natural tendency is, how do you bring people together so that you can better communicate?

30
00:02:33.827 --> 00:02:35.755
I'm done with that. I mean, I'm just done.
