@cnn: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received a standing ovation during the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony where President Biden awarded her, among others, the nation's highest civilian honor. The medal is presented to people “who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors,” according to a White House statement. Biden himself is a recipient, having been presented with the medal by then-President Barack Obama in the closing days of his administration. #cnn #news #hillaryclinton #biden
