grilled on capitol hill over yet another scandal at his agency this time over allegations senior agents drove their car to the white house after a night of partying and may have even interfered with a possible crime scene. under questioning -- and it was intense -- clancy admitted it was five days before anyone told him about the incident. and he only found out about it through an anonymous e-mail. >> you're in charge. >> yes, sir. >> this is an administrative problem you've got, among other things why did you not get word from your subordinates about this incident for, what, five or six days? >> yes, sir. not knowing all the facts -- first of all, you're right, mr. chairman. there's no -- at the least of the description of these events i should have still been informed of what transpired that evening. anytime you have a senior level on the president's detail who is alleged to have even come through a secure area as he did
10:01 am
that evening, i should have been informed. and we're following up on that. and there will be accountability. >> strong admission from the secret service director. cnn's chris frates was watching this morning's hearing. he's here with me now. it was supposed to be a pretty routine hearing but it turned out to be anything but routine. they got into this so-called culture of the secret service. >> that's right. this was a huge theme of this committee hearing. democrats and republicans hammered director clancy asking him, what took so long? and here we have democratic congresswoman nita lowery grilling the director. >> we're not talking about someone drinking at a party. we're talking about a respected member of the secret service who was absolutely drunk. how many people do you know -- how many friends do you know who may go to a party and then take a car and go ram it into a fence
10:02 am
or some other barricade? i find this testimony shocking following up on my colleague. i just don't understand it. i would think it would take five minutes to change the culture before you even know the fact you can say based on the allegations, if in fact you are not aware that this kind of activity is inappropriate for a member of the secret service, you better get it now and go find another job. that's why i'm so puzzled. i can't believe you said it will take time to change the culture. >> so palpable frustration there from congresswoman lowey. and that was pretty much the rig gore rigger rigor from the rest of the committee. >> did we get any details of what actually happened that night? supposedly these two secret service agents one of them
10:03 am
number two on the president's own detail they were out partying celebrating the retirement of one of their colleagues and then they heard about this investigation of what was going on and drove over to the white house. we know what was reported. but did we get the facts from the director today? >> we did get some facts. a lot of these facts he referred to the independent inspector general who he's turned this investigation over to. but he did tell us a little bit about that ramming of the barricade. if you remember it was reported that these secret service agents rammed their car into a barricade around an active investigation. and we learned today that instead of really ramming that barricade, what we saw was the secret service agents nudge some cones out of the way, drive around that active investigation, which puts this in a little bit different of a light. so we did get some new testimony from clancy today that backs up what we were hearing here at cnn from our law enforcement sources last week.
10:04 am
>> i know a lot of other questions have to be answered and we'll work on that. thanks very much. i want to go to cnn's justice correspondent pamela brown. getting breaking news. what are we learning? a former member of the u.s. air force was stopped in turkey and may, repeat may have been trying to join up with isis. what are you learning? >> reporter: that's right. according to this recently unsealed criminal complaint wolf, this man who was a u.s. citizen and former member of the united states air force was allegedly trying to travel to syria through turkey to link up with isis and then as this complaint says fight violent jihad. in reading through this complaint, what happened was apparently he allegedly flew from egypt into turkey. turkish authorities stopped him there, sent him back to egypt. he was then deported to the united states and then arrested here in the u.s. he was in the air force. and while he was there, he received training in the installation and maintenance of
10:05 am
aircraft engine navigation and weapons system. and then according to this complaint, after leaving the air force, this defendant worked for a number of companies in the u.s. and in the middle east as an aviations mechanic. he apparently worked on airplane engines, which is obviously something that is very concerning if these allegations do turn out to be true that he was trying to link up with isis and fight violent jihad, as the complaint says. agents did see some of his electronic devices his computers, his phone. and in the complaint, it says there were several searches related to syrian cities near the turkish border that were controlled by isil that he apparently was looking for isis propaganda online. that he searched for flames of war, the 55-minute isil propaganda video and that he also downloaded as recently as december a video of isis members executing prisoners by lining them up and shooting them in the
10:06 am
head. we did reach out to his attorney and he says that he plans on -- that his client plans on pleading not guilty when he appears in the eastern district of new york courtroom planned for tomorrow. wolf? >> just to be precise, he's here in the united states back in the united states, was deported from turkey to egypt back to the united states. is he in jail now? is he out on bail? what's going on? >> reporter: that's right. he's behind bars and expected to face a judge and plead not guilty according to his attorney sometime tomorrow. so authorities arrested him the day after he returned on u.s. soil in new jersey. he was a resident of new jersey apparently. we know he did live overseas for a period of time. he lived in kuwait. in kuwait he was an airplane mechanic. he also apparently lived in egypt for an amount of time. but the bottom line is this is a u.s. citizen who was in the united states air force and was an aviations mechanic here in the u.s. and overseas, wolf. >> very disturbing development. we'll stay on top of it. pamela brown, thank you.
10:07 am
other important news we're following, election day in israel will the prime minister benjamin netanyahu survive a very tough challenge or will his main rival prevail and what will the outcome of the election mean both in israel as well as here in the united states indeed around the world? the prime minister netanyahu, released a youtube video today accusing his opponents of bringing what he called huge amounts of arabs to the polls to vote against his party. let's bring in our global affairs correspondent, elise labott, joining us from tel aviv. he's over there at netanyahu campaign headquarters. what's the very latest? what are we hearing? >> reporter: wolf i just spoke to some netanyahu campaign officials just moments ago and they feel that these statements that prime minister netanyahu has been making really trying to energize the right wing base,
10:08 am
is working, is giving them some momentum. and they feel that tonight they'll be a little bit better than they have been the last few days. prime minister netanyahu has been behind in the polls and in the last few days has made this campaign push making some very controversial statements backing away from his longstanding position to support a palestinian state saying if he was prime minister again, it would never happen. today talking about those arab parties and those arab voters. and these officials feel that this is working. he is sending a message to every right wing voter, wolf saying, i need you, come out and vote. >> but israeli arabs, they're citizens of israel they have every right to vote. and what he's suggesting is simply a scare tactic, correct me if i'm wrong. what's wrong with israeli arabs who are full citizens of israel going out and voting? >> reporter: well it's clearly
10:09 am
pandering and fearmongering. these are israeli citizens. 1.6 million of arab descent and they're gaining until pos. what's ironic is the foreign minister here tried to have this law where if you don't meet the threshold, these arab parties could be kicked out. so for the first time in history, they united. they're shaping up to be maybe the third biggest party in parliament. and now prime minister netanyahu sees them gaining in the polls, sees that this could help the left gain enough support for a coalition and he's saying to this right wing electorate listen you don't want the arabs taking over. foreign minister lieberman came out this morning and warned about isis and al qaeda opening up in israel. so clearly this is sending a message to those right wing voters that are very sensitive to these issues that they need them to come out and vote. >> the polls close in israel 10:00 p.m. local time 4:00 p.m.
10:10 am
here on the east coast. exit polls will be emerging seconds after those polls close. we'll have live coverage coming up here on cnn. stick around for that. much more coming up on the israeli elections. we're taking a closer look at what they mean for the country's future the future relationship with the united states. we'll also hear from congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz, she's chair of the democratic national committee. she's here with me. we'll discuss that and more when we come back. when you ache and haven't slept... you're not you. tylenol® pm relieves pain and helps you fall fast asleep and stay asleep. we give you a better night. you're a better you all day. tylenol®. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

10:14 am
relations could change based on the outcome of today's israeli elections. let's discuss this and more with debbie wasserman schultz, she's the chair of the democratic national committee. congresswoman, thanks for coming in. >> great to be with you. >> u.s./israeli relations -- the relationship between president obama and prime minister netanyahu, pretty awful right now, right? >> well, i think you have to remember that regardless of the personalities involved the u.s./israel relationship remains as strong as ever. in fact when the prime minister spoke before the joint session of congress a couple of weeks ago, he emphasized how appreciative he was of president obama's leadership his support for israel. so no i don't think -- on the contrary. i think the u.s./israel relationship has never been stronger -- >> let's take a look at it. the president of the united states refuses to meet with the prime minister who comes to washington. i don't know if that's ever happened before. they don't even talk to each other right now. a lot of your democratic colleagues members of the united states -- one of your
10:15 am
predecessors senator kaine of virginia he boycotts the invitation doesn't even go to that meeting when the prime minister is speaking. that's pretty awful, right? >> two separate issues. >> underscores a pretty serious strain in u.s./israel relations when so many of your fellow democrats are boycotts the prime minister of israel. >> president obama followed longstanding presidential practice. as it gets close to any election the president doesn't meet with the candidate -- >> so you blame -- >> i blame speaker boehner. speaker boehner violated protocol by extending that invitation not only without -- >> the prime minister didn't have to accept. he could have consulted with the president. >> it was a violation of longstanding protocol when the speaker invited the prime minister to speak to a joint session. not notifying the white house and not telling the truth saying the invitation was extended on behalf of a bipartisan
10:16 am
conclusion, which isn't true. making sure that israel does not become a partisan issue is absolutely paramount -- >> do you blame the prime minister at all for this serious strain in the relationship right now? >> there is not a serious strain in the u.s./israel relationship. in fact the prime minister was very clear in both his speech to aipac and the joint session. the relationship remains strong and there are going to be bumps along the way. >> what do you think of the prime minister's statement when he says he no longer supports a two-state solution, palestine living next to israel on his watch, there will never be a state of palestine? >> i want to be careful because the polls have not closed about making any statements that might affect or interfere with their election. but i'm confident that israelis are going to go to the polls and make the best choice for them. and on the issue of a two-state solution longstanding american
10:17 am
policy both in congress and through president obama and previous presidents is that we support and believe a two-state solution two peoples living side by side in peace, the palestinian state and the state of israel maintaining its jewish character as a jewish democracy is absolutely essential to make sure -- >> so you disagree with the prime minister on this latest -- >> i support u.s. policy which supports a two-state solution. >> you're the chair of the dnc, the democratic national committee. you're a key member of congress. 16.4 million people have now enrolled through obamacare, the affordable care act. but the u.s. supreme court is considering a key feature of the whole act right now. what happens if five justices of the u.s. supreme court rule those state subsidies the way they are positioned right now, which is such an integral part of the whole affordable care act is unconstitutional? >> i'm confident the supreme court is going to decide that congress would not have set up two classes of people when it comes to subsidies provided by
10:18 am
the affordable care act. clearly congress intended when a state decided not to establish a state exchange that the national exchange would be treated exactly the same -- >> five justices rule the other way, is there a plan "b"? what do you do? >> the outcome should be -- and i expect it to be -- >> what if it's not? >> i'm not dealing in "what ifs." congressional intent was to ensure that everybody, no matter what exchange you're covered by has access to these subsidies. any reading of the statute other than that really simply would be inaccurate. i can tell you as a member of congress who voted on that law and who knows what i know i was voting on that that would be the -- >> but i'm sure you're worried about those 16.4 million people who now have health insurance, potentially a lot of them could lose it if the supreme court rules the other way. >> clearly if that happens, that would be terribly problematic. but the bottom line is that a clear and true reading of the
10:19 am
statute can only be that congressional intent was to make sure that no matter where you are covered, that you are able to be -- if you were eligible to get access to these subsidies. we were not setting up two classes of people. and there's no credible argument that can be made that we were. >> as chair of the dnc, you have to be neutral in the democratic presidential primaries and caucuses. >> yes. >> you were a big supporter of hillary clinton back in 2008. take a look at this new cnn/orc poll favorable opinion of hillary clinton. back in november she had 59% favorability. now it's down to 53%. is she losing some trust now because of this whole e-mail uproar? >> no. secretary clinton isn't even a candidate for president of the united states. >> but she will be. >> when she decides finally whether she's going to run for president, i'm confident that she will enjoy significant support as she has for many years of the american people and that whoever our nominee is whether it's hillary clinton or any other candidate, that we
10:20 am
will be able to elect the democratic nominee as the 45th president of the united states of america. secretary clinton has exercised remarkable leadership is one of if not consistently the most admired woman in the united states of america and with good reason. >> let's talk about the state of florida. talk about campaigns. there's going to be a senate race in florida. marco rubio's seat -- we don't know if he's going to run for president, run for reelection, run for both -- could he run for both? >> the jury's out on that. >> but your name has been floated as a possible democratic candidate. do you want to give up your seat in the house of representatives and run for the senate in the state of florida? >> i have gotten tremendous support from my constituents in florida, from donors urging me to run for the senate. whenever you decide what you're going to do in terms of running for office you have to figure out what is the best way that i can make the world a better place and have the most impact. and in thinking it through, president obama has given me the
10:21 am
great privilege of chairing the democratic national committee and i have an opportunity to help elect the 45th president of the united states of america and i intend to serve my full four-year term he asked me to serve. and i plan to be running for reelection for my house seat in the house of representatives and hope to have the privilege of continuing to represent my constituents in the house. >> you're telling us you're not running for the united states senate? >> i will be running for reelection to the united states house of representatives and serving my full four-year term that president obama asked me to serve as chairman of the dnc to help advance our democratic agenda and to preserve president obama's incredible legacy like the affordable care act, like the robust economy with 60 straight months of job growth we've had in the private sector. it is only through electing another democrat as president of the united states that we'll be able to make sure we continue to make that kind of progress. i think i can have the most impact by remaining in these two important jobs. >> wide-open race for the democratic nomination for the senate right now. >> we have a lot of potential --
10:22 am
>> charlie crist removed his name. >> yes. but we have a lot of strong potential candidates. whether it's against marco rubio or in an open seat there is a real opportunity to make sure that we can have the leadership that floridians need to be able to count on to focus on job creation health care making sure we have a good strong education system and continuing to get this economy turned around and not take us backwards like marco rubio has or any other republican candidate would. >> debbie wasserman schultz, chair of the dnc, congresswoman from florida, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you so much. right now, israelis are voting on the future of their country in a critical election that has global implications. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, his job is on the line. we're going live to jerusalem when we come back. when it comes to medicare, everyone talks about what happens when you turn sixty-five. but, really, it's what you do before that counts. see, medicare doesn't cover everything. only about eighty percent of part b medical costs. the rest is on you.

the first results coming in from israel's elections, just a few hours away the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, is hoping for a fourth term as israel's leader. but whether he wins or lose there could be changes in israel's politics on the world stage. let's discuss what's going on. joining us aaron david miller vice president of new initiatives at the woodrow wilson international center here in washington. joining us from jerusalem, david horovitz editor of "the times of israel." there could be serious changes. what are the biggest changes if herzog were to become the next prime minister of israel? >> i think the biggest beneficiary will be a relatively dramatic change in the u.s./israeli relationship -- >> the relationship with president obama would improve almost overnight. >> and certainly at the top. debbie wasserman schultz is
10:27 am
correct. the fundamentals of the relationship are sound but the relationship at the top for the last five years has basically been a soap opera. it's been dysfunctional, very little sense of confidence and trust. and that's going to change because mr. herzog does have a fundamental view that this relationship is basic to israel's security. >> and, david, on the sensitive issue, we'll talk about iran nuclear negotiations in a moment of a palestinian -- two-state solution. the prime minister netanyahu, said yesterday on his watch, there's not going to be a palestine, not going to be a two-state solution. herzog actively support that is, doesn't he? >> yeah. there's for sure going to be a change of tone if herzog wins the elections, an effort to rebuild ties with the united states and to try to inject a little bit of optimism and maybe some more confidence-building measures into a new attempt at peacemaking with the palestinians although herzog is
10:28 am
pretty wary. he doesn't think that there will be a deal tomorrow either. but he hasn't ruled one out in the way that netanyahu very dramatically i would say did yesterday. >> where does herzog differ, if at all, when it comes to the process of how the sshgt sktecretary of state john kerry and the president are dealing on these nuclear issues with iran? we know prime minister netanyahu is adamantly opposed. >> yeah i think herzog is pretty worried certainly about the prospect of a nuclear iran. there's a consensus in israel that iran is lying to the world, it's definitely seeking nuclear weapons and that the united states and the international community are being duped here. but herzog would not have gone to congress and publicly essentially lobbied against the president. he would have tried to challenge this deal through more discrete channels. >> aaron, you've studied this u.s./israeli relationship for a long time. we don't know who's going to win the election.
10:29 am
we'll get the results at 10:00 p.m. israel time. 4:00 p.m. here on the east coast. we'll have live coverage of that. but if herzog looks like he's going to be the next prime minister i assume they'll be corking champagne over at the white house. >> i can hear the bottling popping even now if the differential is enough to allow him to form the government. there's no question about that. they see both a coincidence of personality between the president and mr. herzog and policy. david's 100% right on the peace process. we really need to be realistic here. you have a lot of problems a lot of challenges. and remember, wolf, this guy's not an island. he's going to have a coalition. and that coalition could likely be composed of religious parties as well as center right parties. the star of this election can make or break either herzog or netanyahu. >> that's one of the smaller
10:30 am
parties that could potentially make or break the next coalition. how does it look right now, david? you want to give us your assessment before we get the exit polls. >> i'll give you my assessment. if anyone tells you they know who's going to win this election, you should smile politely and move on. already 11 parties competing, all kinds of variables. there's a higher electoral threshold than ever before. there's a united arab party, used to there were three minor arab parties. netanyahu is flailing desperately getting upset saying too many arabs are being funded to go to the polls with foreign money. he's complained he's not been allowed to peek publicly when other leaders were allowed to. it's going to go down to the wire. >> guys thanks very much for joining us. much more coming up at 4:00 p.m. eastern, 10:00 p.m. in israel. that's when the first exit polls are released on israel television. we'll have live coverage coming up here on cnn.

member of the united states air force was stopped in turkey it's believed according to accusations, he was trying to join isis. our justice correspondent pamela brown is with us. also our national security analyst peter bergen is joining us on the phone. pamela first, you've gone through the actual document, the complaint. what do we know about what's going on? >> here's what we're learning. this u.s. air force veteran allegedly tried to fly through turkey and then travel into syria to link up with isis and fight violent jihad, according to this complaint. and the suspect's name is tairod nathan webster pugh from neptune, new jersey. and what officials are saying is that he lived overseas for a period of time. he lived in egypt and kuwait and was an aviation mechanic. he worked on airplane engines and he worked for several private companies in the u.s. and overseas as well. he allegedly in january traveled from egypt to turkey where authorities stopped him before he could go any further. they returned him back to egypt.
10:36 am
egyptian authorities deported him to the united states where he was arrested in january, january 16th in new jersey. he is still behind bars. but bottom line wolf, this is an air force veteran -- when he was in the air force, he worked in the training and installation and maintenance of aircraft engine navigation and weapons systems. he apparently left the air force before 2005 and then went into the private industry working on airplanes and then as the department of justice alleges, tried to link up with isis in december. apparently there were according to the criminal complaint, a lot of searches on his computer of isis propaganda. >> searches on his computer also for ways to cross in from turkey into syria, right? >> that's right. according to the laptop, the electronic devices, his laptop broken usb thumb drives the suspect was doing extensive searches on the borders controlled by isis anything there in the turkish border where he could try to figure out ways to get from turkey into
10:37 am
syria allegedly and also searches for the flames of war video. you may remember that 55-minute isis propaganda video from several onts ago and also the criminal complaint alleges he downloaded in december on isis video showing isis members executing prisoners by lining them up and shooting them in the head according to the complaint. >> we're learning more and more about this individual tairod nathan webster pugh. peter bergen you've been studying terrorism for a long time. what do you make of this development? a u.s. air force veteran, an aviation mechanic now arrested supposedly trying to hook up with isis. >> i think there are two things that are a little bit different about this case. first of all, he's a veteran. we have seen one case of another veteran hooking up with sort of a jihadist group but it wasn't isis. and the other thing that's new about this is i think typically when people try and join isis from the united states they're arrested at the airport in the united states. this guy was in the middle east
10:38 am
and turned back. so he got a lot further than most people do. but to put this in perspective, we've seen according to recent u.s. government figures, 180 americans who have gone to syria or tried to get there. not all of them are going to join isis. some try and join al qaeda. others join other groups. but every day we seem to have a new story that underlies this phenomenon that's really a trend, wolf, that isn't going away anytime soon. >> and clearly this case peter, it looks like the turks, a nato ally they discover this guy, send him back to egypt. the egyptians then deported him back to the united states where he was immediately arrested. so it looks like there was some good coordination there between the u.s. turkey and egypt, right? >> yeah. as you know there's been great unhappiness about the turks for a long time amongst a number of western countries who say they haven't been doing enough. but we've been reporting last week they arrested a facilitator who was helping those british
10:39 am
girls get across the border into syria and they seem to be taking a much more aggressive stance in the last say, two or three months on this issue. >> u.s. air force veteran arrested now. we're getting more details. we'll have a lot more on that. peter and pamela thanks very much. still ahead, the historic nuclear negotiations under way right now between the u.s. and iran. if an agreement is brokered what would that mean? much more on this, the latest developments when we come back. you're driving along, having a perfectly nice day, when out of nowhere a pick-up truck slams into your brand new car.

the issues are complex, the time frame is short, the hurdles are huge. world powers are still struggling to try to strike a nuclear deal with iran before the clock runs out. the u.s. secretary of state is back at the negotiating table. john kerry met with iran's foreign minister javad zarif earlier this morning.
10:43 am
the white house is cautiously optimistic. >> we continue to believe that our odds of reaching this agreement are at best 50/50. it is going to require the iranian leadership including those who aren't at the table to sign onto this agreement. >> joining us from new york our global affairs analyst, bobby ghosh. what do you think, bobby? 50-50. 60-40. how does it look? >> 50-50 sounds about right. it has been more or less that position for several weeks now. as the spokesman said there, the sort of elephant in the room is the one who's sitting in tehran the supreme leader of iran grand ayatollah khamenei. how much is he prepared to give? he's been sort of playing both sides of the fence a little bit. on the one hand, he's empowered president rouhani and foreign minister zarif to negotiate a deal. on the other hand he's been making statements about how the
10:44 am
united states and the west in general are not reliable that they will try to cheat iran of its legitimate rights. he's playing it both ways. that's how he likes it. he likes being hard to guess. >> a new poll here in the united states shows a vast majority of americans certainly back these negotiations with israel. we asked, do you support direct democracy to prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons? 68% favor, 29% oppose. i don't know why anyone would oppose diplomacy. that's better than war. what do you make of the numbers? >> the numbers to some degree undermine that letter from the republican senators last week. and they show that the president at any rate and john kerry have the nation at their back, have the nation supporting them. who would oppose diplomacy? i suppose people who are not paying very close attention. because this negotiation is
10:45 am
taking place behind closed doors, because the details have only been coming out in little drips and drabs, i suppose a lot of people really don't fully understand what is at stake here. so i suppose that's why some people are unsure whether diplomacy works. but the vast majority of the people in this country seem very clear that they want a solution that is arrived at around a table rather than on a battlefield. >> they would like a good solution obviously, one that prevents iran from developing a nuclear bomb, if possible. that would be the goal. bobby ghosh, thanks very much. we'll stay on top of this story in switzerland. still ahead, has hillary clinton done enough to explain the controversy over her e-mails? we have the results of our new poll. we'll talk about that and more. our chief political analyst, gloria borger, is standing by. r, we're going to need you on the runway later. don't let a severe cold hold you back. get theraflu... ...with the power of three medicines to take on your worst pain and fever, cough and nasal congestion. it breaks you free from your toughest cold and flu symptoms. theraflu. serious power.

10:50 am
suggest to you? >> first of all, she's still very popular. she's also quite polarizing. when you look at that 57% number when you delve deeper into it she's very popular with women, as you can well imagine, she's very popular with women and with minorities. she's a very polarizing figure when it comes to democrats versus republicans. when they ask the question would you be proud to have her as president, i think that plays very much into gender. >> we asked this question has clinton done enough to explain her use of personal e-mail? 46% said yes. 51% said no. pretty close, but still people want more explanations. her favorability rates as you pointed out yesterday, were as high as 69% when she served as secretary of state. >> when she served as secretary of state, people looked at her at a nonpolitician. she was somebody traveling around the globe, doing her job speaking very often on women's issues. she was sort of out of the
10:51 am
political arena. what this downward trend shows is that people see her or are starting to see her as a politician again because she's going to run for president, giving political answers to questions, parsing words like politicians do and i think that turns her into a more polarizing figure. two-thirds of republicans believe she does have more explaining to do on this issue. also so do a third of democrats. if she were to have an opponent that might be a number that another democrat could exploit. but at this point, we don't see anyone on the horizon that could really take her on frontally here and challenge her in a robust way. >> it's one thing for republicans to be criticizing her on this whole e-mail issue. it's another thing if one of the democrats, maybe one of the democratic potential candidates were to come out and say, we need that server we need more explanations we need more information. >> and it may come to that. >> but it hasn't come to that.
10:52 am
>> it hand happened yet. we see house speaker john boehner saying you've got to turn over the server. there's now a little bit of a controversy over whether she actually signed a separation form from the state department if her signature had been on that it would have guaranteed she turned over all pertinent e-mail and information she needed to. so there's controversy over that. at some point, you may find a democrat questioning whether she ought to be more forthcoming because i think now when you look at the way this campaign has started, wolf the issue of transparency is going to loom large. you have jeb bush saying he's released his e-mails. has he released all of them? no. and then you can see jeb bush saying to chris christie where are your e-mails? and on and on. so a democrat could do it to hillary clinton as well. >> all right. e-mail controversy continues. >> transparency. >> thanks very much. still ahead, breaking news this hour. a deadly shooting in pakistan. it's the lawyer who worked for
