White House: It’s up to State Dept. To Determine if Hillary Broke the Law

‘It’s the responsibility of State Dept. officials to ensure that State Dept. employees are in compliance with the Federal Records Act’

HENRY: "On Hillary Clinton -- in answer to Jon when you said at least once 'according to them,' about Hillary Clinton's people; 'according to them' these were all the emails. Are you acknowledging that this White House has made no effort and is making no effort to determine whether or not your secretary of state broke the law?[off-mike] Are you making any independent effort to find out if she broke the law?"

EARNEST: "Ed, it's the responsibility of State Department officials to ensure that State Department employees are in compliance with the Federal Records Act."

HENRY: "And will they hold them accountable?"

EARNEST: "And what those State Department officials have done is they have asked all of the previous serving secretaries of states to forward their personal email records that may pertain to official government business. If they have personal email records that pertain to official government business those are official government records and they should be properly maintained and preserved by the State Department. That is exactly what Secretary Clinton's team has done."
