Hillary Clinton has said she takes "absolute personal responsibility" for her election loss - but also blamed FBI Director James Comey and the leaking of emails connected to her campaign.

Mr Comey sent a letter to Congress less than two weeks before election day, indicating that his organisation was investigating newly discovered emails connected to Mrs Clinton's use of a private server while serving as US secretary of state.
