A question-and-answer document distributed by Clinton states that 30,490 emails were designated as 'work-related ' , while 31,380 were determined to be 'private and personal ' . Clinton said that subjects of the personal emails varied from planning her daughter Chelsea 's wedding to her mother 's funeral . She added that she had deleted the personal emails because she did not feel there was any reason to save them .

'Who gets to decide what 's personal and what 's public ? ' he said on Fox News .
