ALEXANDER (voice-over): "President Obama speaking out on '60 Minutes' about Hillary Clinton's e-mail controversy."

KROFT: “Did you know about Hillary Clinton's use of private email server—“

OBAMA: “No.”

KROFT: “--while she was Secretary of State?”

 OBAMA: “No.”

ALEXANDER (voice-over): "Saying that it's been ginned-up for a political game. His former secretary of state should adhere herself to a higher standard."

OBAMA: "It is important for her to answer these questions to the satisfaction of the American public. And they can make their own judgment. I can tell you that this is not a situation in which America's national security was endangered."

CLINTON: "I did not email any--"

ALEXANDER (voice-over): "Still, the Republican Party isn’t letting off."
