Flashback: Obama Claims He First Learned About Hillary’s Secret E-mails from the News

President Obama, contrary to an email exchange unearthed by Wikileaks, claimed during a "60 Minutes" interview in March 2015 that he only learned of Hillary Clinton's secret personal email server "through news reports."

A Clinton aide, having watched the interview, told her colleagues they needed to "clean this up," as Obama had personally emailed with Clinton, using her non-government address.

“We need to clean this up – he has emails from her – they do not say state.gov,” Clinton aide Cheryl Mills wrote to John Podesta, in an email recently published via Wikileaks.

Now flash back to Obama's "60 Minutes" interview:

PLANTE: "Mr. President, when did you first learn that Hillary Clinton used an e-mail system outside the U.S. government for official business while she was secretary of State?"

OBAMA: "At the same time as everybody else learned it, through news reports."

PLANTE: "Were you disappointed?"

OBAMA: "Let me just say that Hillary Clinton is and has been an outstanding public servant. She was a great secretary of State for me. The policy of my administration is to encourage transparency. That's why my e-mails from my Blackberry that I carry around, all of those records are available and archived. I am glad that Hillary has instructed that those e-mails that had to do with official business have to be disclosed."
