POWER hungry Hillary and Bill Clinton had a bust-up over who was to blame for her slump in the polls days before the election of rival Donald Trump, it has been claimed.
Bestselling author Ed Klein has revealed tensions among the Clintons over just what had caused the dent in her popularity.

Mr Klein claimed one of Bill Clinton’s closest advisers said he was with the former President in Little Rock when he overheard a heated argument over the phone with Hillary.
She is said to have accused FBI director James Comey of reviving the probe into her use of a private email server and reversing her campaign’s fortunes.
But the source is quoted by Mr Klein as saying Bill did not buy the excuse and became so angry it was feared he might have a heart attack.
Instead it is claimed Bill pointed the blame at the campaign being “tone-deaf” to the impact the weak economy was having on working class votes.
Wirting for MailOnline, Mr Klein quoted the source as saying: “Bill always campaigned as a guy who felt your pain, but Hillary came across as someone who was pissed off at her enemy [Trump], not someone who was reaching out and trying to make life better for the white working class.”

We told last week how a top aide claimed Hillary Clinton had blamed the election of Trump on the head of the FBI.
A scathing letter by Navin Nayak, head of Clinton’s research division, pinned the cause of her candidate’s loss on FBI director James Comey.
