chaffetz: we will see where it goes. susan: can i ask whether or not you see the stories that have been percolating about the foundation and donations to her foundation being appropriate? rep. chaffetz: there are some things we're looking at. something's we are concerned about. one of those things has to do with some of the visas that were granted. we have questions about that along the way. they have an important role to play and there are questions in somethings the committee is looking at. there seems to be an overlap. we will let the truth prevail and follow the path wherever it may lead us. if there is nothing there, we will move on. stephen: do you have concerns about the clinton foundation's tax status, given the details we have heard about -- at least accusations of them getting donations and dealings with the state department at the same time. are you planning on looking into the foundation in that sense or anything else about the foundation itself? rep. chaffetz: there are some outstanding concerns. what did th

chaffetz: ms. neuman, you mentioned the budget detail worksheet that will be released in june of this year which will be anytime. do you have that yet and if so can you provide it to this committee? ms. neuman: i do not have that yet. mr. chaffetz: you have to be a little closer to the mic. ms. neuman: i'm not aware it's been completed yet. i will check with my deputy chief foia officer. if it has i will be happy to certainly give it to you. mr. chaffetz: you didn't represent it was complete. when it is complete can you share that with this committee? ms. neuman: absolutely. mr. chaffetz: one of the questions we have is the charges that are given to the public and the expenses that they have. let me start with you. let me go back to ms. howard here. -on-times people are frustrated because the law says you need to respond within 20 days. you can give another 10-day extension but then oftentimes it's months before they hear again. how do you pick those dates? ms. howard: i think namely they are just

chaffetz: of? ms. archuleta: 2015. rep.haffetz: how did you know in 2014 if they were -- you didn't know if they were in there, did you? ms. archuleta: we did not have the security systems installed at that time. it was because we were able to add those security systems that we were able to detect. rep. chaffetz: you detected this system? it wasn't a software provider? you found it yourself? ms. archuleta: o.p.m. detected the intrusion. rep. chaffetz: so the "new york times" and others that wrote it were wrong? ms. archuleta: that is correct. rep. chaffetz: how many other people received letters? ms. archuleta: it is a rolling number as we worked from the first data notification january 8, we will complete it to 4.2 million by june 19, i'm sorry, i don't have the exact number as of today. i would be glad to get that information for you. rep. chaffetz: one last question with everybody's indulgence here. ms. archuleta, that was a data breach at o.p.m. in july of 2014. ok? this is what you said about your -- ms. seymour. in de

chaffetz: you count on them to do it? there is not a foia office they can get in there, pull up every relevant e-mail -- ms. howard: there is no library -- mr. chaffe is wrong to say there's notz: library. it is called e-mail. thate reason we moved away from warehouses with file folders is electronically you can push a button, to a search and generate that. this is the year 2015 here. we are not in the stone ages trying to not something out and copy it on a stone. do not tell me it is a database. it is called e-mail and microsoft. ms. howard: folder by folder by folder by folder, account account by cap by kent. mr. chaffetz: it is magic, you can get a 20-year-old person in there and make can find it in a couple hours. we do not believe that. ms. howard: the capabilities of the systems we had do not enable us to that. mr. chaffetz: i do not understand that and do not understand how you pick dates. we do not have time. would take you 10 minutes each to explain this. if they do not get exposure, sometimes they were asked mon

chaffetz asked and like what was recommend? why didn't you shut it down? ms. archuleta: in our opinion we were not able to shut it down in view of all of the responsibilities we hold at o.p.m. >> so in your opinion, protecting federal workers then could not have been your highest priority because they were competing i guess, priority, you said it was better that you continued on with the others versus protecting the federal workforce. ms. archuleta: the recommendations that the i.g. gave to us are ones that we take very seriously. i don't want to characterize that we didn't. that in fact we did take -- >> there is a quote -- ok. there is a quote that says what we occasionally have to look at, you know, no matter how beautiful the strategy, we have to occasionally look at the results and the results here are pretty profound that we have got security risks all over and i would encourage you to take it a little bit more serious and indeed make it your highest priority. i yield back. thank you, mr. chairman. rep. chaffetz: i recognize the gentleman from massachuse

but yes chairman chaffetz says that's the reason for it. >> did you punish him for voting against your will? >> it was a factor but there were a variety of factors in my making that decision and making the change there. >> you're good guy, congressman but it sounds very tony sopranoish to me. >> well you know nobody's going to get to see what i see. sometimes the coach on the field needs to make a change. >> talk about the power of fox business. hours after i started digging into exactly why congressman lost his chairmanship of his key subcommittee chairman chaffetz gave it right back. >> you're kind of like the luke abrasi. >> what did you think talking about the retribution thing, you don't vote our way. >> it's about a vote on the rules a procedural thing. >> i understand which made it more assinine to me. >> listen, i'm impressed with the fact you got this reversed. that's good stuff. >> you seem a little jealous. >> i am jealous. >> i didn't get an interview in "playboy" but "highlights for children" has called. i might say yes. >> you

. >> chairman chaffetz ranking member cummings, and members of the committee. thank you for the continue to testify before you again today. i understand and share the concerns and the frustrations of federal employees and those affected boo the intrusions. opm has taken significant steps to meet responsibility secure personal data of those we serve, it is clear that opm needs to dramatically e celerate those efforts. i testified last week and i am committed to a full and complete investigation of these incidents. we continue to move urgently to take action to mitigate the long standing vulnerabilities of the agency's systems. in march of 2014 we released our strategic plan to modernize and secure opm's aging legacy system. we began implementing the plan immediately and in fiscal years 2014 and 2015 we directed nearly $70 million for the implementation of new security controls to better protect our systems. opm is also in the process of developing a new network infrastructure environment to improve the security of opm's infrastructure and it systems. once comple

chaffetz asked and like was recommended. why didn't you shut it down. >> in my opinion we were not able to shut it down in view of all of the responsibilities we hold at opm. we do take seriously -- >> so in your opinion protecting federal workers could not be your highest priority because there were competing priorities and you said it was better than you continue on with the others versus protecting the federal work force. >> as i said, the recommendations that the i.g. gave to us are ones we take very seriously, sir. i don't want to characterize that -- that we didn't. that, in fact, we did take -- >> okay. let me -- there is a quote that says what we occasionally have to look at, no matter how beautiful the strategy, we have to occasionally look at the results. and the results here are pretty profound that we've got security risk all over. and i would encourage you to take it a little bit more serious and indeed make it yu highest priority. i yield back. thank you mr. chairman. >> now recognize the jae from massachusetts

chaffetz: there are obviously very sophisticated.here are basic things, basic cleanliness things, that were not implemented. government watchdog groups came in and looked at this, and we do hope to hear from them. they issued the warning, and multiple times, and i don't think our government took it seriously enough. the worry is that somewhere between four months and a year, these hackers were in their surfing, being able to extract information, the most sensitive information that we have about personnel records, social security numbers, we are worried about health records. i didn't know who has security clearances, and to what degree. you can understand, if it is someone like china, they have a very vested interest in understanding who the target should be. host: you can watch the entire "newsmakers" program today at 10:00. now, we're joined by two political followers. we will start with josh kraushaar, editor with "national journal," here in the studio with us. in new york, celeste katz with "new york daily news." i will begin with

you know jason chaffetz spends a lot of time finding witnesses that can add to deliberations and inquiry and missed out on a couple today. that's not his fault. if you can't ask the head of the agency what happened, and you can't ask someone else in a position of leadership why you didn't comply with both regulatory and contract provisions that i don't know who jason was supposed to invite. lou: the chairman doing his best, as you say, and yet, what we have is apparently a cyberattack, successful, two instances by the chinese, in which as many as 32 million people's personal data and data gathered by the federal government have been compromised and in fact stolen is that correct? >> well, i don't think anyone said definitively who the perpetrator was. i have certainly heard the country you mentioned mentioned, and the number, we don't know. it's as little as four million and you hate to use the word little in the same sentence as four million, but could be as small a number of four million or upwards of 30 million as you noted. and the fact that we don't. my state went through a data bre

first, representative jason chaffetz was our guest on "newsmakers."n this clip, he talks about the hack into federal records. it is now estimated to have compromised up to 14 million records. [video clip] representative chaffetz: there are nefarious actors around the world trying to compromise our infrastructure. there have been multiple reports telling them that they need to make sure that these things are encrypted. they did not do that. there are literally millions and millions of records with highly sensitive information that is out there. on tuesday, we will have a hearing. right now, the office of personnel management is being very resistant to attend. i have prepared to issue a subpoena, if need be to get them there. i think the public needs to hear about this, public employees need to hear about this. it may be the single greatest breach of data that our government has had. >> what is the early information -- obviously, there is a lack of security. did they not follow i.t. recommendations? what is the latest you are hearing? representative cha

. >>> next a look at the cyber security breaches which chaffetz said may have compromised contractors and called for the resignation of the opm director. eric hess told lawmakers there is no evidence his company is responsible for the breach. >> good morning. the over site committee is coming to order. our hearing today is about the opm data breach. this is part two. $529 billion -- $529 billion is how much the federal government has spent on i.t. since 2008. roughly 80% of the money has been spent on legacy systems. and we're in a situation here where the hurricane has come and gone and just now opm is wanting to board up the windows. that is what it feels like. this is a major, major security breach, one of the biggest if not the biggest we have ever seen. this demands all of our attention and great concern about what happened, how we're going to prevent it from happening in the future and what are we going to do with the information now. because there is no simple easy solution. but i can tell you, often times it feels like one good trip to best buy and we could help solve this pro
