6:07 pm
presidential campaign. she hit him up right after the benghazi attack september 11th to find out and find out quakely what happened. blumenthal asked u.s. intelligence u.s. military. anytime he does that, they know it's hillary clinton asking. he got back to her about quickly and said basically the preliminary finding is that the attack was preplanned by well-trained fighters who infiltrated the crowd outside, which makes it a lot tougherer, that revelation today, for hillary clinton to defend the fact that she said publicly and had her spokesperson susan rice say publicly that the attacks were spontaneous. issue number two, in another e-mail released today, clinton got details of who was arrested in connection with the benghazi attacks and how they were discovered to have been involved. the fbi assault that today and said, wait a minute, some of that is classified. and they quickly redacted, removed those classified pieces of information from this e-mail. so was it released at the last
6:08 pm
minute, that section, but it's a reminder that as secretary of state, hillary clinton who had access to all kinds of classified information used a private, personal server she had possession of that information, and that's a political problem for her. in spite of that here's what she said today. >> well, first of all, i'm glad that the e-mails are starting to come out. this is something that i've asked to be done, as you know, for a long time. i'm aware that the fbi has asked that a portion of one e-mail be held back. that happens in the process of freedom of information act responses. but that doesn't change the fact that all of the information in the e-mails was handled appropriately. >> reporter: stay tuned for more e-mails and more controversy. i'm steve handelsman news4. jim? >> steve, before you go, you mentioned that it's a personal problem but so far no smoking gun and i guess her enemies don't really need one to continue their attacks. is that correct?
6:09 pm
>> reporter: you know, i don't know what exactly her enemies would call a smoking gun, jim. she's taken a lot of heat for the fact that she waited for a long time to acknowledge that she finally believed what it looks like she was told was the fact about the benghazi attack right after it happened. she's going to have to answer if sydney blumenthal did the research you asked him to do and the finding you heard from him was this was a preplanned attack, why did you say it was spontaneous? jim? >> steve thanks. two california men have been arrested and charged with conspiring to support isis. the fbi says social media posts led them to the men. one was arrested at the airport in los angeles last night. fbi agents say he admitted he planned to fly to turkey to try to join isis. the other man is accused of buying the plane ticket for his friend. vice president biden is remembering a midshipman killed in the amtrak derailment last

winner in this town. >> yes. i'm not a traffic reporter, but i just got back from nats park. it is clear. if you have nothing to do right now, go down there. the weather is perfect. they have a beautiful game tonight against the phillies. by the way, they're in first place. they have been remarkable the last few weeks. they're balanced offensively. they bounced back from leading the league in errors. their pitching could get better, but it's solid. winning has a funny way of bonding teams and the nats are feeling on top of the world. >> i think we're a family. you know, i think being able to have the mentality we do have the confidence and everybody's ability in this clubhouse, it's just a lot of fun to be around. it starts from the top all the way to the 25th man. >> reporter: i asked your teammates who is the player on this team not getting the attention they deserve that maybe the average fan can't notice. based on the scorecard. they all said you. what is it about your game that you think they respect right now? >> i mean i hope just the fact that i come to the field every day and my teammates know that i want to play whether i'm
