continuation of this speech and as we learn more about what e he says about what's happ a with the the united states we'll bring that to you. >> thank you aaron. the artist who painted a portrait of former president bill clinton is causing controversy. the artist tells nbc news his painting includes a shadow reference to the monica lewinsky scandal. peter alexander shows us the portrait that was commissioned by the national portrait gallery. >> reporter: for a presidency scar ed scarred by a second term scan clinton's moment to shine. a presidential portrait. >> i think you did a marvelous job and i thank you very much for what you did. >> reporter: nelson is artist nelson shanks who's painted everyone from princess day to the pope. it's likely what you're to miss the shadow that has many seeing the piece in a a new light. a shadow across the

administration across mr. clinton's presidency. >> earlier shanks told the "philadelphia daily news" it actually represents a shadow from a blue dress i had on a manikin. >> i was aware that it was a blue dress and it had a sir certain echo, let's say, of some history that we're aware of. >> reporter: shanks called his subject the most famous liar of all time. critics said there was something sketchy, pointing out his wedding band is missing. the portrait is in storage, part of rotation, but shanks is convinced the clintons wanted it down. >> the painting should be scene by. the public. the national portrait gallery shou not be intimidated by whomever is intimidating them and that's undoubtedly people who approached them on behalf of the clintons. >> the clintons have not asked us to remove the portrait. hillary n ramps up a potential

white house run of her own, a fresh look at this president with all of his shadows. >> that was peter alexander reporting. the artist says he's not heard from the clintons since speaking out about the portrait. nbc news reached out to president clinton for a comment, but they did not respond. a developing story right now, apparently hillary clinton used her personal e-mail account exclusively during her four years as secretastate, which may have violated federal requirements according to "the new york times". clinton turned over 55,000 pages of e-mails it requested last year in an effort to comply with updated laws. the department adds that john kerry is the first secretary of state to reply on a state.gov e-mail account. for more on the e-mail investigatio we're joined by mark murray our senior political editor. there's a lot going on in washington. let's talk about hillary clinton and these e-mails first.

any problem for her with this? >> it does feed a little nar narrative that the secretive clintons that they hav tha the potey skirting the rules. most cabinet secretaries end up having a government e-mail. but the clintons and their defenders are pointing out this morning that john kerry is really the first person to have the .gov e e-mail address. they are trying to say the stuff didn't start until john kerry. >> it's not easy to manage two e-mail accounts. >> it isn't. although this all goes to transparency. sometimes the easiest way to have the permanent record is on your official e-mail. we do know lots of politicians are sometimes using personal accounts to hide things from requests or other things but this is why this story ended up getting a big. er reaction than others because it involves the clintons and

everyone thinks they are up to secretive things and this is why she had this. >> let's talk about benjamin netanyahu, who is speaking right now at the capital. has he succeeded or has he failed or has he done both? >> it's important to note he's speaking right now, so we don't know the actual conclusion but he has an election two weeks from now. he's able to raise security in iran two issues in his party's wheelhouse that have helped him make his final argument with his election two weeks from now. where he hasn't succeeded is forting negotiations when it comes to iran. he's been making the point saying these negotiations are bad, this cannot stand but what he hasn't been able to do is influence the administration or forward. >> have to ask about homeland security. the republicans met this morning. any move on that getting a bill passed? >> a huge move. john boehner, the house speaker,

waved the white flag. he's going to allow democrats to pass a clean legislation to fund the department of homeland security that should pass with mostly democratic and a few republican votes. this comes after friday's really embarrassing move for republicans where they were unable to fund it for three weeks. so far it's a victory for democrats and president obama and the defeat for republicans on this. >> something getting done absolutely. >> thank you. for more from mark and the rest of the political team check out first read. a fight over school lunches, the message being delivered to congress and the first lady today. plus
