Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has come out against the Keystone XL pipeline, which would help transport oil from Canada into the United States.

Supporters say it would create many American jobs and provide a long-term source of energy from a reliable U.S. ally.

But the Obama administration has repeatedly blocked the pipeline, and Clinton said she also opposes it because she thinks it would hurt the climate.

"I don't think it's in the best interest of what we need to do to combat climate change. I will be rolling out in a few days my plan for North American approach to fighting climate change and clean energy," Clinton said.

It's still hard for Clinton to get her political messages out, though, because her email scandal continues to dog her campaign.

The Washington Post reports the State Department is undercutting Clinton's account of how she turned over her emails.

State Department spokesman John Kirby said they didn't realize until the Benghazi scandal that they had very few Clinton emails on record.

The agency contends that Clinton is wrong to claim that their request for her emails was part of some routine review.

Meanwhile, a federal judge has ordered the State Department to speed up its review of emails from two top Clinton aides.

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan is giving the agency until Oct. 2 to complete a keyword search on work-related messages from private email accounts by aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills.
