Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti expanded Friday on an email gaffe involving his endorsement of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The Thursday email episode made headlines around the country. Through a city email account, a communications staffer for the mayor sent out an email quoting Garcetti endorsing Clinton for president. Just over an hour later, that email was retracted.
Even later on Thursday, his campaign confirmed that Garcetti is backing Clinton.
At an event downtown Friday afternoon, Garcetti called the email from his office a mistake.
