Donna Brazile, the former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, said Sunday she found "no evidence" that the 2016 Democratic primary was rigged in favor of eventual nominee Hillary Clinton, seemingly walking back her recent stinging criticisms of the electoral process.

"I found no evidence, none whatsoever" that the primaries were rigged, Brazile said during an appearance on ABC's "This Week."

Last week, a scathing excerpt from Brazile's upcoming book, "Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns that Put Donald Trump in the White House," published in POLITICO Magazine, detailed what Brazile described as an "unethical" agreement between the Clinton campaign and the committee that she claims allowed the Democratic candidate to exert "control of the party long before she became its nominee."

The remarks were widely interpreted as a blunt accusation of favoritism by the former interim DNC chair, though she stopped short of saying the actual voting process was rigged. But Brazile appeared to temper her claims Sunday, disputing the characterization of the process as being rigged to favor Clinton over Sanders.
