any reaction from the clinton campaign? guest: reaction from the clinton staff has been very muted and careful. they have said that this is the sitting vice president, he certainly has the right to run for his party's nomination, if he wants. it tried to avoid making it seem like they are pushing him out of the race. that being said, behind-the-scenes, we have seen actions from the clinton campaign that they are concerned about this and are trying to lock up support. everybody knows that joe biden tends to do well in south carolina and has strong support there. top aidess sent her carolina to try to lock up endorsements, open up new offices, hold public events, and show that in places where biden is competitive, clinton has support locked up. host: when the clinton campaign announced her intention to run for president, hurt staff that this would be a different type of campaign. have we seen that? guest: in some ways we have, in some ways we haven't. just a few weeks ago, the clinton campaign said they would start making her

host: the clinton campaign continues to move ahead with its own fundraising efforts. any reaction from hillary clinton's staff on the speculation about the vice president? guest: the reaction has been very muted and very careful. they have said, this is the sitting vice president, he certainly aren't the right to run for his party's nomination if he wants, and he will make his decision on his own timeline. they are trying to avoid making it seem like they are trying to push him out of the race. behind the scenes we have seen action from the clinton campaign that shows they are concerned about this and trying to lock up support. everyone knows within the democratic world the joe biden tends to do well in south carolina and has strong support there. we have seen clinton sent her top aides down, the chairman of her campaign, james carville, who we all remember from her husband's presidential husband's presidential campaign, down to south carolina to try to log of endorsement, open new offices, hold public events and show even in the places where biden thinks he is compet

the campaign stressed there's no criminal probe. one clintonfficial tells kristen welker, they have accepted the e-mails will be an issue throughout the campaign. that fact will continue perhaps to track the clinton campaign. clinton strategy is to focus on policies and aggressively go after her republican rivals. republicans have been very outspoken about the e-mail issue. here's what donald trump said on cnn. >> what she did is a real problem for her. i don't know that she'll be able to run, because it looks to me that the whole e-mail thing is a very criminal situation. and it could cause problems for years to come. >> clinton's democratic rivals are not joining in the republican chorus on the e-mails, her standing in recent polls has been mixed. the nbc -- new cnn/orc poll shows clinton maintaining a solid 19 point lead in iowa over senator bernie sanders. a poll released wednesday showed her falling behind sanders in new hampshire. clinton is heading to the iowa state fair this weekend. joining me now is jonathan alter. also brad wood hous

michael, right now is sanders simply a thorn in the side of the clinton campaign. >> he's little morehan a thorn at this point. i think if he builds the momentum, he'll have something to say about the direction of the campaign. i believe that he can do some of the things in the democratic party that you are seeing over the years with the religious right and the republican party in terms of moving the candidate in a direction he or she may otherwise not go. >> tom, at what point - what are the signals from sanders that nuisance. >> i think if - once you see senator sanders's report going beyond the white collision, his basis is not as broad as senator clinton. african-americans are tremendous. hillary clinton's numbers are higher than president obama. recent democratic primary poll says 73% of hist panics support. the coalition put together to win the primary is diverse. that's what they have. it's not just the coalitions, it's the operations. look at what rick santorum did. there's not a lot of black voters, if bernie organises a ground game and takes something away from hillary, and

let's begin with the hillary clinton campaign calling out "the new york times" for, quote, egraj egregious errors. the newspaper is reedsponding and promising clinton will be treated fairly. it's on the front page. bigger news. the headline here says "who would beau do?" joe biden is thinking about running for president against clinton. she says when biden's son beau was dying i'm et kwoquoting, he had a mission trying to make his father promise to run. that the country will be better off with biden values. this story is something of a bombshell. it's on the front page of other papers now as well. how is the clinton campaign reacting? jennifer palmieri joins me. she is the campaign's communications director and the author of the letter to the "times." i want to ask you about the letter and what the "times" is telling you about unfair coverage. first this biden news. there has been talk for months about maybe, possibly biden entering the race. he has said he'll decide by the end of the summer. what do you make of this new development, all of this new attention? will it fundamentally change

he's donated to hillary clinton's senate and presidential campaigns. y clinton said the front row of his wedding in 2005, in 2012, he said hillary clinton was doing a great job as secretary of state. so do republicans really want to make this guy the ones to go up against hillary clinton? >> msnbc reporter alex sites wall, very helpful. appreciate it. >> thanks. >>> the other side of this of course is what this says about the clinton campaign, right? if they say that this had nothing to do with the campaign, this is not a strategic matter at all. as alex said, what was bill clinton doing on the phone with him? is bill clinton helping with the hillary clinton campaign? it might help if trump is now seen as a democratic tool, but was it deliberate on the part of the campaign or does bill just do what he wants? no matter the implications for anyone? oh, it's going to be such a fun year. it's going to be such a fun year. stay with us. >>> programming note, sort of, actually it's not really at all, but it's great news. since 2013, former congressman patrick

foundation and lining up donors there and also getting ready to work on the hillary clinton campaign and while also working for a big consulting company with close ties to former president bill clinton. reporter senator chuck grassly firing off a letter saying the e-mails that fox obtained suggested that there was a conflict of interest of humma abdin having all of these overlapping roles and while she was working at the state department and paid by taxpayers, jon. >> so vice-president biden is not there in minneapolis but he's making the presence felt? >> reporter: he may be overshadowing up. he had a conference call and offered up his office to brief dnc members on the nuclear iran deal and show case his foreign policy credentials and also folk ifs from the draft biden movement in their hotel suite and they have all of the literature and bumper stickers and handing out to dnc with a message of keeping your powder driechlt he may have a lot of time. hillary clinton had a big head start and money and endorse ams, but a sitting vice-president can get in here late and get the money and

hillary clinton campaign tries to limit damage center the e- mail controversy. the latest from the campaign trail. >> good morning, at this stage of the game it's enthusiasm and energy and for donald trump that means drawing big crowds in a critical state. literally embracing the flag donald trump walked on stage in new hampshire and went after the republican seen as the favorite heading into the race. >> down the road we have jeb. very small crowd. we have 200500, you have the best real estate. bush offered a dig of his own. >> mr. trump doesn't have a proven conservative record. he was a democrat longer than a pan. he's given more money to democrats than republicans. >> there was fire on hillary clinton who's e-mail issues will not go away. more specifics came to light about two e-mails that may have contained classified information. >> where do we go from here, the hope for the clinton campaign this is just a bunch of gonely -- goobly-gook. >> her lawyer maintains it was erased. >> we're hearing from legal experts about the potential fallout about the release

i think the clinton campaign has to be looking at that closely. we had talked previously about what donald trump said about women, not just what he said about women but the policies that were discussed you know absolutely pro-life without even the exception of a life of a woman. and comments about women's health care, if you are a democrat and you have got to be celebrating that absolutely they are going to have difficulty winning the women's vote with some of these candidates. i think there were good things for the are republicans there and things they need to watch out for. they would like nothing more than donald trump to stay at the top of the ticket, you have two former sitting senators or groarches on a ticket that's going to be fairly strong and they will make a force that the democrats particularly kyle hill have to reckon with. >> i think they're pulling the conversation far to the right. the questions around abortion were stunning. that was just staggering and then slarlt with immigration and the treatment of the latino community. two of

you remember the clinton campaign also said a few weeks ago, made a stink with the press saying she's being investigated, it's not criminal yet, but it should be a criminal investigation because for anyone not named clinton, it would be. as judge mukasey, the former attorney general wrote in our paper last week, it's punishable by up to a year in jail for having classified information in an unauthorized location, her server. it doesn't matter if she allowed someone to marc klaas fied on it. >> this would be a misdemeanor. >> yes. >> joe, what about judge emmett sullivan this week at a court hearing said -- told the fbi and the state department, get on the stick to get the information in response to a freedom of action request from judicial watch, information from her server as well as thumb drives that her lawyer, lyn's lawyer turned over to the fbi. how significant is the judge's order? >> i think it's pretty significant. you've kind of got these circling cases. there's three freedom of information act cases in court and sort of a growing outside suspicion from the intelligence commi

the clinton campaign is not worried. >> we will let him make a decision. however hard it is to secure a

. >> that has been the game changer for the clinton campaign. it was easy to dismiss these questions. do you add the fbi to the mix? and the fbi reports the obama justice department. not to john boehner or republicans on the hill. it's harder for them to make the case. that might be one of the reasons they're searching for answers. >> tell us about the reports coming out. it looks like some e-mails were clans fied since conception. they were like anchor e-mails.

as we heard earlier, the clinton campaign continues to laugh off this scandal. catherine herridge live for us in washington today. catherine, what is the significance of these two emails? >> gretchen. these emails from clinton aides got the ball rolling as you mentioned on the fbi investigation. this is the first time any media organization has identified who sent them and the content. the november 18, 2012, email two months after the benghazi terrorist attack was sent by sulliv sullivan, her chief of staff who now serves on her campaign. the version released to the public is redacted and carries the classified information code. the other redaction shows it came from fbi sources and refers to possible suspects in the 2012 terrorist attacks. the second email that contained classified information was forwarded to mrs. clinton's personal account by her aide huma aub deen who also work for the clinton campaign. it was wrongly released without any redactions. >> her deputies were excerpting highly classified information and sending it along to mrs. clinton across an u

i think you are going to see spin out of the clinton campaign about him getting in early on

the clinton campaign will have to address it. by the way, they are addressing it. secretary clinton has been trying to weigh in on issues that she thinks progressives care about. so this is something, though, that continues to dog her campaign. of course back in 2008 she was expected to win, and we all know what happened there, so there's a little trepidation that could this be a repeat of that. there is no doubt that bernie sanders is a credible threat at this point in time. on the other hand, you'll recall the campaign of howard dean. he got really big crowds at the start and then couldn't cross the finish line in the end. >> a lot to see how the clinton campaign will turn this around, especially after these two hits today, kristen welker, thank you very much. good to see you. >>> that brings us to today's bing pulse question, is bernie sanders a threat to hillary clinton's campaign? head to pulse.msnbc.com. we'll bring you updates on how you're voting throughout the next two hours here on this show. >>> meanwhile, donald trump is flying high after his latest cont

the clinton campaign says this is a part of the process. you have a lot of eyes on these documents right now. and this is typical. fordifferent agencies to go back and say this document should have been classified, they continue to insist that secretary clinton never sent any e-mails marked as classified and the state department says it doesn't appear there was any wrong doing, but there is a drip, drip, drip here. it has eroded the public's confidence in clinton. made some democrats jittery. it has fueled speculation that you have other democrats eyeing a possible run buy vice president bide pen. he's been talking to supporters and allies. i am told the strategy moving forward is that they are going to try to reassure supporters will see secretary clinton doing that today, but she's also also going to try to pivot to the topics she want to be talking about, like college affordability, immigration. those are topics she's going to try to focus on today. this is a town hall though, luke, so she will likely get questions about this e-mail issu

any reaction from the clinton campaign?st: reaction from the clinton staff has been very muted and careful. they have said that this is the sitting vice president, he certainly has the right to run for his party's nomination, if he wants. it tried to avoid making it seem like they are pushing him out of the race. that being said, behind-the-scenes, we have seen actions from the clinton campaign that they are concerned about this and are trying to lock up support. everybody knows that joe biden tends to do well in south carolina and has strong support there. top aidess sent her carolina to try to lock up endorsements, open up new offices, hold public events, and show that in places where biden is competitive, clinton has support locked up. host: when the clinton campaign announced her intention to run for president, hurt staff that this would be a different type of campaign. have we seen that? guest: in some ways we have, in some ways we haven't. just a few weeks ago, the clinton campaign said they would start making her ava

>> the clinton campaign tried to swat this story away as partisan. now if you have the fbi, the justice department, the inspector general -- >> obama appointees. >> i have to say that feels condescending. >> the public understands the situation where something says top secret on it and you had it on a personal server in your home and why? the rationale for why has never been convincing to most people. it was easier. it was more convenient. that doesn't fly. >> how is sitting in a hospital room in fairfax hospital with a family member for hours over the weekend and of course you end up talking politics. once we finished talking about trump and that well was dry, that was the second thing. cardiologist came up to me, nurse came up to me, we don't get it with the e-mails. what's wrong? it's out there. it's not just in here. >> it's a problem of her own making. >> yeah. yeah. okay. you know who she has to thank right now? she ought to send them flowers. since she went to the wedding, another gift. donald trump was in michigan yesterday to keynote a repub

. >> the controversy has been a huge distraction for clinton's campaign. >> probably the russia and chinese government know more about hillary clinton's e-mail server than the united states congress. >> today he called her actions a criminal offense and told reporters that clinton would be a good deceiver in chief. >>. the problem everybody has in terms of finding out, you have democrats are all the prosecutors. and they don't want to prosecute it. did she commit a crime? yes. will they prosecute? perhaps now. >> the chair of the benghazi committee says the decision to wi take the server doesn't pass the wipe test. >> can denote a desire or willingness or intention to conceal far beyond simply just deleting something. >> state department spokesman john kirby says the e-mails with are not classified when sent to clinton and they are appealing the ruling. her campaign is scrambling. the development in the investigation comes at an already challenging time for clinton's poll numbers. she lost her lead in new hampshire according to a new boston herald poll. in iowa clinton comes up short when m

you remember the clinton campaign also said a few weeks ago made a stink with the press saying she's being investigated. it's not criminal yet, but it should be a criminal investigation because for anyone not named clinton it would be. >> the court hearing said i told the fbi, and the state department get on the stick to get the information and response to a freedom of information act. information from her server as well as from the thumb drives that hillary clinton's lawyer turned out to the fbi. how significant is the judge's order? >> i think it's pretty significant. you've kind of got these circling cases. there's three freedom of information cases in court. growing outside suspicion from the intelligence community, from the fbi. you're going to continue to see these kind of made up excuse. look, she's the secretary of state. she decides what is classified. that's one of her jobs. just the fact that anything -- any of her official business was on a private server. >> how much damage is it doing to her standing politically? >> she's been fwrad wally. not quickly, but gradually sink

was this an unforced error or was that perfectly placed by the clinton campaign? >> it's unbelievably unhinged. you are hearing the hyperbole of desperation from a campaign that's flailing in message and falling in the polls. she is upside down, eric in terms of unbelievability. six out of ten americans don't like her. she is going the wrong way you in terms of inevitability at a time when americans want real and genuine. what they are really seeing from hillary is deceit and dishonesty, and she has got to do better than that if she expects to not only be the nominee of her party but to be a serious combatant for president of the united states. >> jeff, now you were state senator but now you are a professor. you hear hillary clinton use the term boxcars. what comes to your mind? >> well, clearly, it may not have been the best way to phrase things, everyone is making such a big deal out of the words she is using. what i think republicans are doing right now. >> you don't have a trouble with the word boxcar. >> making a desperate attack from their own party's rhetor

the clinton campaign has offered a couple of explanations. claim that she did not send classified information. if it was received, it was not marked classified. michael: the restrictions relayed -- relate to the information. if you are the secretary of state, what you get is the most sensitive, confidential stuff. otherwise, it does not make its way to you. she is joined to make a distinction. she is trying to say the things that were sent to me, i had no reason to think it were classified and i am not responsible for what comes into my inbox. michael:: powell -- colin powell used a private e-mail service. this happened a couple of times. we are not talking upon -- about reliance entirely upon a private server. it depends -- if you get a piece of classified e-mail on your private server, your first obligation is to take it and stick it in a secure location, tell your id to permit, and possibly wipe it off your unclassified server. there is no indication she did that. another rebuttal has been that she only delete it e-mails and have the right

. >> joining me now for our daily fix nbc's kristen welker covering the clinton campaign in mf, molly ball, political writer for "the atlantic" and national reporter. kristen, up there in new hampshire, the women's issues and the reaction to the republican candidates is what hillary clinton has been focusing on as well as, of course, her speech today and yesterday on college loans. her point is that the republicans at this debate did not discuss even once the issue of student loan debt. >> that's right. and, look, you see clinton taking this tactic, as you just pointed out, andrea, and you of course were with her on the campaign trail yesterday, trying to lump all of the republicans in in with donald trump when it comes to this issue. it's a way to rally her base which, of course, is also a key voting bloc. 53% of registered voters are women. so yesterday she lumped everyone in and said, look, the comments that we're hearing from donald trump are a broader indication that republicans as a whole are out of touch when it comes to women's issues. very interestingly she went after marco r

meanwhile politicos writing that hillary clinton's local campaign is stepping up their response to questions about her using an unsecured e-mail server to communicate classified information with a when she was secretary of state. her campaign pointed to a just-released conversation that happened in 1974 between secretary of state kissinger and cia director, william colby. the state department redacted parts of the conversation they said were classified as national security information. seven years ago the state department released the entire conversation in a book, "the bottom line according to the clinton campaign." it says there are different ideas on what is considered classified. hillary clinton is one of the democratic candidates we have been covering at the iowa state fair all week. while we wait for chris christie, here is some of hillary clinton's appearance of the fair over the weekend. >> thank you so much. nice to meet you. thank you for coming out. >> glad to be here. how are you, sir? .ood to see you nice to see you. thank you, guys. that's even better. >> love you, hillary. >>

the clinton campaign folks we talked to said they remain confident that mrs. t do anything improper herself but as attention to this increases and there is a certain drip, drip, drip quality of it, yes the campaign is getting concerned, clearly getting worried. there are a series of messages that have gob out to donors and other supporters are describing what's going on. so the campaign is concerned and that's clear that would happen any time you have the fbi connected with a candidate even if as is the case now there is not an indication that the fbi is looking at criminal activity. >> but mrs. clinton has said, look, i've met my responsibility, did not send e-mails or receive them through the private service that was classified at the time that maybe is a pivotal point there. is there anything throughout that contradicts her account thus far? >> well, there is a contradiction which her political opponents will highlight and have highlighted and that is that she originally said flatly no classified material was sent or received by a server that i was using. no

clinton, but heaps praise on biden. >> there is probably no one else in american politics today that has a better understanding of what is required to mount a successful, national presidential campaign. >> reporter: later earn s addrn to the intrigue. >> i wouldn't rule out the endorsement of a primary. >> secretary of state hillary clinton pushed for mo more aggressive actions in afghanistan, libya and syria. biden was more cautious. the biggest split is that clinton pushed forward, but biden initially thought it was too big of a gamble. >> if they did get in the race together, you could see this being a defining point on presidential judgment. >> those messages disappear all by themselves. >> meanwhile, republicans aren't letting up on clinton. still, clinton is not backing down, picking up the pace of her campaign leaving her hamptons vacation tomorrow for a swim through the midwest. first stop, iowa. biden reportedly met with two of obama's most trusted advisers at his residence last night. here's a piece of good news for the vice president. only a small percentage of obama's furndraisers in 2012 hae already committed to bund ling that money for the clinton campaign. >> obviousl

the clinton campaign wants them to say no, sorry, she's got the numbers and there is something in it t the message after what the clintons have done in the last week? is that the message democrats will deliver to joe biden? >> it's the message that the hilary campaign is trying to deliver, i am here and strong and it's a big fight. now there are a lot of democratic donors out there who still haven't committed to hilary. a lot of people bund llers for barack obama. star warts about hillary clinton with or without the e-mail controversy and seems to be a little opening, maybe a medium-sized opening for joe biden so it's natural the hillary clinton campaign would come around and make that space as small as possible and try to show joe biden there is a big hurdle to overcome if you get in this race. it's a smart move politically for them and when she spokes to the dnc, she's talking to people who care about ground games and maybe care about superdelegates but i got to say, you know, talking about superdelegates this far out is a little absurd and those pledges may not mean anything if six

but you may not know this, a lot of people may not know it but the clinton campaign hired the same lawyerworked on the delegate and super delegate count that worked for the obama campaign. those of us who saw this obama campaign unfold in 2007 and 2008 were just amazed the clinton wasn't doing what obama was doing which was collecting super delegates. if i can make one other point quickly, chris, when you started the segment you said it is hundreds of days until you have a vote. what they are doing now and what is so politically prudent is the super delegates are people who you can identify. they are out there to be had. most of the delegates won't be elected for as long as a year, starting in march are the early primaries where you really start getting them. getting commitments. there's nothing else to do now but focus on this pool of 700 people. it will be harder to get them later. >> very good point. one of the things we learned in 2008 about the way it is structured is ultimately it is about delegates. it's not about votes. that's one of the things it came down to. the barack obama ca

approval rates and the news that the fbi is now examining her private email server, hillary clinton campaign is urging democrats not toen paic. in a six day memo, clinton manager said, winning campaigns have a plan and stick to it in good times and bad. president obama endures significant pressure in 2007 to abandon iowa and ultimately prevailed. >> i will be the young ohs woman president in the history of the united states. >> ultimately prevailing though, is not what the clinton team in this race had in mind. and with one poll suggestions she is now trailing bernie sanders in new hampshire the odds of a long fight for the nomination are growing. he has been getting huge crowds. >> that this great nation, belongs to all of us, not just a hand full of billionaires. another obstacle could come from joe biden, biden has toad friends he is now thinking about joining the nomination ranks. his entry could siphon off some of the establishment support, there by improving the chances to the relative outsider bernie sanders. against all of this, is the clinton email investigation. the justice departm

kristin followed the hillary clinton campaign to vegas. e had line. >> hillary clinton has a new message for her supporters today, no bedwetting. that was the familiar refrain from the obama campaign back in 2008 when times got tough. the issue today for the clinton intelligence campaign, reviewers have said that they're concerned that more than 300 documents from clinton's private e-mail server may have contained classified information, so in a court filed yesterday they asked that they go into further review befo before those e-mails are released to the public. it shows there was no wrongdoing or mishandling when it comes to hillary clinton'sr mal e-mails, clinton has said herself there were no classified e-mails. it opens the door to other people thinking about getting into the race, like vice president joe biden. secretary clinton for her part, i am told, will continue to reassure reporters that she hasn't done anything wrong, and she's also trying to stay focused on what she's talking about, policy issues she thinks will get her into t

>> no, i think the clinton campaign has a strategy. robby mook, the campaign manager has put out a document talking about how campaigns go through fluctuations. polls go up, polls go down. this is normal. is this poll an outlier? i think it is. but the clinton campaign has a strategy, they're going to stick with it and i think they should. >> thank you both for your time tonight. >>> still ahead, we found a few key details that jeb bush left out of his speech about his brother's war in iraq. >>> and it's been 50 years since the watts riots shocked the nation. i'll talk about what's changed and what hasn't. ♪ [music] jackie's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today her doctor has her on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. so you're a small business expert from at&t? yeah, give me a problem and i've got the solution. well, we have 30 years of customer records. our cloud can keep them safe and accessible anywh

this release from the clinton campaign was unkpchtexpected. no no other candidate has done this but this clinton campaign along this detailed review of her, they also released 38 years of her tax returnings.sreturns. from 1977 to 20006 was released. they released 2007 through 2014. she had got 28 years of her tax returns available for your prying eyes if you're interested. that's a lot of years of tax returns. but she's not alone. among this year's presidential candidates and releasing those returns even though she's the only one releasing health information, jeb bush has released 33 years of his tax returns this year. you'll remember in 2012 there was lots of controversy over how many years of tax returns mitt romney would release and what he would let people know about his considerable family finances. leading candidates in both democratic and republican party this year are trying to avoid that kind of mitt romney controversy this year even though they're both rich they're trying to seem undefensive about their personal information. honestly

i asked him, what made hoinlt hillary clinton's campaign different than 2008. >> in 2008, the clintonampaign was like a 40,000 bombing run over iowa. and obama was down in the weeds. this year, hillary is down in the weeds. she is personally involved. the first two or three times she came to iowa, she wept to small towns and rural areas and not des moines or cedar rapids. and that is powerful. she is personally involved. and the organization as they have set up in iowa, i got to tell you, one of the best i have ever seen. joe: as good as the obama operation in 2008? >> a lot of the obama are in this organization. john: i want to compliment you on your hat. >> it's cloudy today. john: i have to ask where you got that hat because i want to get one of those. she spent an hour and a half here yesterday. no how hard she tries to get down low and meet people, between the security she has, the media that follows her, the celebrity that attends her, it is just hard for her to be a normal candidate. how does she get over that? >> she has. i was with her saturday and as the crowds came around,

clinton's campaign says there was information now classified. it was not classified at the time it was received according to her campaign. in one case, e-mail is marked sensitive, but unclassified. the other case is the material contains no marking. the clinton campaign trying to focus on the 2016 race and possibility of an expanding field with the calls of joe biden to enter the race. >> hillary clinton herself and everybody affiliated with her campaign has deep respect for vice president joe biden. there are a number of people on the campaign who worked for him directly on her campaign. there is deep respect for him. he has earned the opportunity to take his time and make a decision. we are just going to continue to operate our campaign in the way we always have which is to presume we will have a competitive race. >> biden advisors have told him to make a decision by october 1st. >>> more anger over the iran deal after the revelation that iran will inspect one of its own military sites. the inspections of the site would be governed by separate

the clinton campaign says the state department has asserted neither one was classified at the time it was sent on the call with reporters. campaign officials were planning to say the e-mails, quote, represent further proof that hillary clinton did nothing wrong and spotlight ongoing disagreements between government agencies about what should be considered classified. melissa? >> good luck with that approach. thanks, peter. we're going to be monitoring that conference call and bring you the latest on the clinton campaign's response to our report. should be interesting, david? >> on the other side of the political ledger, dueling republicans, donald trump and jeb bush both hosting town halls in new hampshire tonight. the events begin at the same time. however, they're being held in counties only about 20 miles apart. trump telling the "wall street journal" because bush draws so poorly, i figured it would be a good time to draw a crowd, something like that. the billionaire still leading in the polls by a big margin and is a candidate republican voters believe is the best able to handle t

. >> clinton's campaign is in damage control after inspector general found two e-mails containing top secret information that clinton denied. >> i never sent or received classified information at the time it was received. >> a university poll shows half of voters say clinton did nothing wrong but still support the criminal investigation. while republicans see weakness. >> in new hampshire we're ahead of hillary clinton by two points. >> democratic challenger bernie sander ssz eers refusing to ca. >> poll numbers show sanders leading clinton by seven points in new hampshire. >> thank you for. that we'll try it again next week. >>> no settlement or decision in court in the battle between superstar qb brady and goodell yesterday he admitted destroying his phone was the wrong thing to do but maintains innocence. with all that, this is what people are talking about yesterday. "time" artist apologized for making him look like lurch. the internet did what it normally does when this happens, went crazy. here's a good one. the person that tweeted this called it qb extra terrestrial. then one c
