Hillary Clinton “felt like CIA agent Carrie Mathison” in hit TV show Homeland as she sought to learn more about the alleged Russian cyber-warfare against her presidential campaign.

“The voluminous file of clippings on my desk grew thicker and thicker,” she writes. “To keep it all straight, I started making lists of everything we knew.

“At times, I felt like CIA agent Carrie Mathison [left, played by Claire Danes] on the TV show Homeland, desperately trying to get her arms around a sinister conspiracy and appearing more than a little frantic in the process ...

“That’s not a good look for anyone, let alone a former secretary of state.”

The claims were made in her 494-page memoir What Happened, published by Simon & Schuster.

It describes her experience as the Democratic Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2016 election.
