Gowdy: In Response to Subpoena, State Dept. Turned over Richard Gere Press Clips

KEILAR: “Hillary Clinton is facing backlash over her private e-mail while secretary of state. It's her own words that are causing problems. In my interview with Clinton, she said, "I never had a subpoena." In fact, Clinton did receive a subpoena from the chairman of the House Select Committee, Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy. A spokesperson for Clinton clarifying after the interview that she was saying she hadn't had a subpoena when she wiped her server of her e-mails, that the subpoena came after. I talked with Trey Gowdy earlier about Clinton's claim.”

KEILAR: “Congressman Trey Gowdy is joining me now from Capitol Hill. Congressman, I want you to listen to exactly what Hillary Clinton said about whether she had been subpoenaed over her e-mails.” 
CLINTON: “I've never had a subpoena. Again, let's take a deep breath here. Everything I did was permitted by law and regulation I had one device. When I mailed anybody in the government, it would go into the government system. Now, I didn't have to turn over anything. I chose to turn over 55,000 pages because I wanted to go above and beyond what was expected of me.” 
KEILAR: “Now, let's take this by parts, shall we. I asked her in the interview about some legal advice that a Democratic attorney general of the state had said to CNN, which was, look, no lawyer is going to tell that you you should be wiping your server when you're facing a subpoena. So her campaign says at the time that she's answering to the fact that she did not wipe her server while facing a subpoena, the impression there that they are giving is that this happened before that. But what she said was, ‘I've never had a subpoena.’ So do you believe this, that she misspoke or that something else is going on?” 
GOWDY: “Well, Brianna, I have no idea what she meant. I know what she said. She never said she had a subpoena. That is demonstratively false. There were also subpoenas prior to the one we issued in March of 1025. There's also a regulatory or statutory obligation for records. And when there is a congressional investigation, you also have an obligation to preserve records. There are three separate legal obligations that should have informed and instructed her not to delete e-mails or wipe her server clean.” 
KEILAR: “She also said, ‘I didn't have to turn over anything.’ What do you make of that?” 
GOWDY: “It's just wrong. I can put some adjectives in front of it but I'm not going to. It's just flat-out wrong. You have an obligation to preserve the public record. That's why the president put out the policy that he put out. That's why the State Department put out its cable, don't use personal e-mail, which applied to everyone other than her. You don't have to go into public service. You don't have to do it. But when you do and you create official records, you have to keep those records for FOIA, for the public, for congressional investigations, you have an obligation to do so. And she kept these for 20 months on her personal server, never thought about deleting them until we got into the throes of an investigation and then, after 20 months, she decided, this is too burdensome to keep on my server, let me wipe it clean.” 
KEILAR: “Are you saying that she's a liar?” 
GOWDY: “I don't use that word. I got in trouble when I was in court for saying that word.” 
KEILAR: “Are you saying she lied?” 
GOWDY: “I'm saying that it is false and she should have known what she said was false at the time.”

KEILAR: “I asked about the widening scope of the Benghazi investigation, his investigation and whether it had become too political. He said the Obama administration could speed things up by turning over all of the relevant documents.”

GOWDY: “We have narrowed what we asked for. We asked for what we really need the first time. They begged us to narrow it, so we narrowed it. It's still like pulling teeth to get the information. You know what we got last week? 3600 pages, half of which were press clippings, including articles about Richard Gere. So if that is their idea of complying with the congressional investigation, then we are going to be at this for a long time.”

KEILAR: “CNN, the first to report those details from Congressman Gowdy about the latest documents his committee has received from the State Department.”
