per comey. now telling us she told the fbi the same lie. jim comey's hand are now tied. he cannot do the dance anymore about how there was no in tent or he is not sure what negligence means or that it was only wrerecklessness, or the statute isn't clear or no reasonable prosecutor wouldn't go forward. comey, the prosecutor who wasn't in that room in the interview, who didn't use the opportunity to size up a perspective defendantant, who didn't use the the opportunity to analyze her truthfulness and her body language, the man who didn't speak to every one of the fbi agents in the room. who quickly made a determination that she did not have the intent that was not an element of the crime in the first place. is now caught. between a rock and a hard place. jim comby for all his truth saying has an obligation to his oath and the constitution. he has an obligation to recognize what this woman has said, not once, not twice, but at least 10 times. and what he has said, under oath. jim, you're running with dogs. and you know better than i that when you lie with dogs, expect to ge

appreciate your asking that because i was pointing out, in both of those instances that the director comey had said my answers in my fbi interview were truthful was truthful. that's the bottom line here. i have said in the interview and many other occasions in the past months that what i told the fbi, which he said was truthful is consistent with what i have said publicly. i may have short circuited and i will try to clarify. chris wallace and i were talking past each other. of course, he could only talk to what i talked to the fbi. i appreciated that. i acknowledged repeatedly using two e-mail account bes was a mistake and i take responsibility for that. but i do think that having him say that my answers on to the fbi were truthful and then i should quickly add what i said was consistent with what i had said publicly and that is in my view trying to tie both ends together. >> is the one you never sent or received classified material. he did say there were classified e-mails. >> here are the facts behind that as well. i preside and sent over 30000 e-mails to the state department that it we

so i can't imagine 4 statements in james comey's view will be enough. i served with jim in the department of justice. but i think this sends the wrong message to the american people. if you only commit a few crimes, you get away with it. charles: some say if your name begins with clinton, you do. the 200 emails were classified after the fact and some contained classified markings. that goes against what she told the benghazi committee. >> we have her saying these things on tape. there is no way the f.b.i. can ignore what has happened and not bring forward perjury charges. otherwise they will lose all credibility. and she lied on four separate occasions that we know about. congress in the oversight committee needs to be asking the f.b.i., did you inspect hillary clinton's texts while she was secretary of state. there has been a singular focus on emails. what about her texting activity? she was tethered to her blackberry. did she text information and did she delete it? charles: that's a great point. at the benghazi hearing she said she didn't receive anyt

director comey said that my answers were truthful and what i said is consistent with what i have toldmerican people. >> reporter: that statement which she repeated in another interview wednesday ruled false by fact checkers. today clinton tried to clarify those comments, referring specifically to what comey said about her fbi testimony. >> i was pointing out in both of those instances that the director comey had said that my answers in my fbi interview were truthful. that's really the bottom line here. i may have short circuited it and for that i will try to clarify because i think chris wallace and i were probably talking past each other because, of course, he could only talk to what i had told the fbi, and i appreciated that. >> clinton also addressed questions about her struggles with voters who do not see her as honest and trustworthy. >> how would you lead a nation where a majority of americans mistrust you? >> every time i have done a job people have counted on me and trusted me. i take it seriously, and it doesn't make me feel good when people say those things and i recognize t

and comey did confirm that.ut as to this question of what she told the public, she is saying that on her own now, she is not saying that comey said that, because comey didn't say that. it's a little complicated. >> let my dig a little deeper. trey gowdy asked direct're wyomingy at the following: secretary clip top said there was nothing marked classified on her e-mails either sent or received. what that true? director comey responded: that's not true. today, clinton is sticking by her guns here, and she is saying, essentially, well, they weren't clearly marked. is that sort of parsing and prevery indication? >> that gets really technical. the fact was they weren't marked classified the way most material is. there was a c on them, deep down and that is a mark of classification, but in fact it turns out that some of of them may have been marked classified incorrectly. there were only the that were marked classified anyway. so she is on firmer ground. they were marked classified but maybe incorrectly. on the questi

described her public statements about her e-mail server as truthful. >> director comey said that my answers were truthful and what i've said is consistent with what i have told the american people. as the fbi said, everything that i've said public has been consistent and truthful with what i told them. >> but fact checkers found comey had said no such thing. at a convention of hispanic and black journalists clinton was forced to confront her claims and offered this explanation. >> are you mischaracterizing director comey's testimony? and is this not undercutting your for thes to rebuild trust with the american people? >> i was pointing out on -- in both of those instances, that the director comey had said that my answers in my fbi interview were truthful. that's really the bottom line here. and i have said during the interview, and in many other occasions over the past months, that what i told the fbi, which he said was truthful, is consistent with what i have said publicly. so i may have short-circuited and for that i, you know, will try to clarify. because i think, you know, chris

a mashup between her and comey. >> director comey had said -- i'm telling you right now, we're goingwrite fairer rules for the middle class, and we are going it to raise taxes on the middle class. i'm telling you right now, we're going to write fair er rules fo the middle class and we are going to raise taxes on the middle class. >> well, that was a confusing thing there. i apologize. that's not what we were calling up this has to do with another segment in a minute. let me pull up hillary clinton and director comey in a back and forth. >> i had not sent classified material nor received anything mark classified. >> fbi director james comey said none of those things you told the american public were true. >> chris, that's not what i heard director comey said. >> secretary clinton said i did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail. there is no classified material. was that true? >> there was classified material e-mailed. >> director comey said my answers were truthful and what i've said is consistent with what i have told the american people. >> did hillary clinton li

the second issue with director comey was about the 110 e-mails that director comey says were classifiedt the time. but what we have always maintained and still maintain is that she did not believe that those e-mails were classified. they lacked any markings. they were sent to her by people that know the difference between what's classified and what's not. so she was acting entirely in good faith and had no reason to believe those e-mails were classified. and later in his congressional appearance, the director acknowledged that he had no reason to question that -- whether hillary clinton actually believed those e-mails were classified. so on both of those two points, he expanded on his answers later in the hearing and that's what secretary clinton was referencing in her interview with chris wallace yesterday. >> thank you so much for your time. we graeshtly appreciate it. thank you. >>> next, new investments in the war against isis. the u.s. military has launched new air strikes in libya today. we have some new information coming in right now from the pentagon. we'll have a report after

>> i hope to quote james comey to answer your question and james comey answer that question by sayingg she didn't turn over, she believes she had turned everything over was unintentional. that's the same james comey that republicans like to quote . they also have to listen to him when he says she was truthful in the interview with the fbi and she didn't intentionally withhold any documents. martha: here's what we know. the state department says 30,000 emails that may be related to the 2012 attack on benghazi are among the thousands of hillary clinton emails that were recovered during the fbi's recently closed investigation into the private server. we need to see those, lanny and now we're being told it's going to take a month for the state department to go through 30 emails to redact? you coulddo that in one day . >> first of all, hillary clinton said from the beginning they published all 30,000. she's also said, and i challenge every republican to call the congressional committee that's receiving these notes to do the same, she wants everything published in her notes in the fbi notes

the american people. >> director comey said some of the e-mails were in fact classified.he fbi, he said he wasn't qualified to say whether she lied to the american public. the new poll shows trust remains a significant problem for the clinton campaign after both conventions. with 99 days until the election, voters that see her as honest is still at 34%. back with the panel is political correspondent patrick healy. this answer at the very least, it's just not true, what she's saying. "washington post" gives her four pinocchios. she's selectively -- picking comments. >> she's at her lawyerly best. or worst, depending on what you think of lawyers. she's cherry picking facts and going to parts of the testimony by comey and taking what she likes. this is very typical of politicians. after the iraq war and the invasion, you had months and months of bush administration officials who weren't willing to talk directly about whether wmd was in iraq. here in this case you have director comey, who gave hours and hours of testimony on capitol hill, a lot of yeses and nos and double neg

comey's testimony and is this not undercutting your efforts to rebuild trust with the american people? >> look, chris, i appreciate your asking that because i was pointing out on in both of those instances, that the director comey had said that my answers in my fbi interview were truthful. that's really the bottom line here. and i have said during the interview and on many other occasions over the past months, that what i told the fbi, which he said was truthful is consistent with what i have said publicly. so i may have short sirktd acir and for that i will try to clarify, because i think chris wallace and i were talking past each other. of course he could opening talk to what i had told the fbi and i appreciated that. now, i have acknowledged repeatedly that using two e-mail accounts was a mistake and i take responsibility for that. but i do think, you know, having him say my answers to the fbi were truthful and then i should quickly add what i said was consistent with what i had said publicly and that's really sort of in my view trying to tie both end together. >> so the one incons

that's what comey said.she was -- >> extremely careless. >> if we want to use -- >> extremely careless. >> which is a legal definition of gross negligence. >> look, we both know -- no. it would be an extrapolation. you picked those words on purpose to not echo what's in the statute. >> go read the cases and the definition of gross negligence. it's extremely careless is one of the four definitions. >> be that as it may, what's on the other side of the scales, not of justice in this case but presidential politics -- >> comey knows what i said. jim knows the definition of gross -- because he sat through enough trials in which gross negligence has been defined. >> look, it came up as soon as he used the words. i get it. the conclusion is, though, he didn't see a case to bring forward. on the other side of the scale, though, is donald trump who not once, not twice, but many many times undermines confidence in his ability to send across a clear message that is not inherently hostile or divisive. the man welcomes c

but what i want from jim comey are two things. want the documents and all the documents, recordings, and anything in its full content. nothing redacted. surely it will be secured. number two, i want jim comey to respond to hillary clinton saying that the fbi director said that she told the truth to the american people. she lied more than five times in the hearing, which means that she could be sent to prison if convicted for perjury for five years for each -- for each lie. that's unusual but max the maximum and then you put obstruction on top of that and possible destruction of evidence. i mean, she is looking at a lot of time here. i just want jim comey to step forward, the director and say wait a minute, whatever hillary clinton is saying i'm sticking by what i said in my sworn testimony that the -- she did get rid of files and emails. that she had more than one server. that she said nothing came to her that was confidential, which was not true. and she said she never sent anything out that was confidential, and that's not true.

>> but, brian, director comey said that is the case.e said hillary clinton and the people on these chains should have known and should have recognized this was classified material. and he said that there is evidence they were xroextremely careless in their handling of highly sensitive, highly classified information. what you are describing was the case. >> well, actually, the fct that he indicated in his congressional testimony that he didn't have a basis to conclude that she ever thought these materials were classified and the fact he indicated very forcefully there was no intent here to at all traffic in classified material and the fact that he recommended and said that no reasonable prosecutor would bring a case is indication enough that reasonable people could disagree about whether those 110 e-mails were actually classified or could have been recognized as such. think of the implication of that statement. 300-plus people all either were reckless in not realizing something was classified or simply looked the other way and sent somet

though comey did say they were not marked appropriately. bottom line is comey said she and her team acted extremely careless and should have known better. meantime, while mrs. clinton spoke before the conference and held fund-raising events, her running mate was making stops in michigan and wisconsin before trump reveals his economic plan on monday. >> we're talking about jobs and donald trump is basically shadow boxing with every enemy he can think of instead of talking about what americans want to talk about. >> hillary clinton and tim kaine are taking a weekend off from campaigning. according to a recent poll, which finds 61% of americans believes she is not honest or trustworthy. i guess the saving grace to her campaign is 62% say they don't believe trump is honest or trustworthy either. arthel. >> bryan llenas, thanks, bryan. >>> libertarian ticket is seeking a boost in popularity this year. as the major parties run what some consider two of the most unpopular candidates in recent history. polls now showing gary johnson and bill weld,

director comey said my answers were consistent. >> director comey said some of the e-mails were in factur new cnn poll shows trust remains a significant problem for the campaign. the percentage of voters who see her as honest hasn't budged, it's still at 34%. back with the panel is political correspondent patrick healy. this answer at the very least, it's just not true, what she's saying. "washington post" gives her four pinocchi pinocchios. she's selectively -- >> she's at her lawyerly best. on the one hand this is very typical of politicians. after the iraq war and the invasion, you had months and months of bush administration officials who weren't willing to talk directly about whether wmd was in iraq. here in this case you have director comey, who gave hours and hours of testimony on capitol hill, a lot of yeses and nos and double negatives as answers and secretary clinton is going in, sort of taking the answers that work for her and trusting that a lot of people aren't going to be able to really make heads or tails of this. they want to stop the conversation. >> doesn't this fall i

but i happen to have the interview with james comey. let me play it for you. >> secretary clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her e-mails either sent or received. was that true? >> that's not true. there were a small number of portion parkinmarkings on threee documents. >> secretary clinton said i did not e-mail any classified material to -- >> there was classified material e-mailed. >> secretary clinton said all work-related e-mails were returned to the state department. was that true? >> no. we found work-related e-mails, thousands, that were not returned. >> secretary clinton said her lawyers read every one of the e-mails and were overly inclusive. did her lawyers read the e-mail content individually? >> no. >> now, "the washington post," not a friend of yours, i don't think, by any stretch, they gave four pinocchios. and although comey did say many e-mails were retroactively classified, he also said there were some e-mails that were already classified that should not have been sent on an unclassified private server.

to maintain she did not knowingly send e-mails marked classified. >> and in questioning, director comeymade the point that the three e-mails out of the 30,000 did not have the appropriate markings. and it was therefore reasonable to conclude that anyone including myself would have not expected that they were classified. >> comey however said if his testimony that while many e-mails were retroactively marked classified, there were some e-mails that were clearly classified at the time. >> secretary clinton said i did not e-mail any classified material, was it true? >> there was classified material e-mailed. >> when a reporter encouraged clinton to take questions more often, the crowd cheered and she said she recognizes she has work to do to gain the public's trust. >> bryan llenas, thank you. and now i'm really going to toss to leland. >> for more insight into the clinton campaign including what is next for the candidate, let's bring in amy parns, co-author of the book he right birth of hillary clinton. and a correspondent at the hill. well on back to the program. nice to have you. you li

comey, in my opinion, he never intended to ziet mrs.nton, he wanted to wag his finger. >> it is unusual for them to wait that long to interview somebody like this. and that was a huge benefit to her. >> no, of course, but again, we come back to the point that comey's conclusions, he called her extremely careless rather than reaching the logic of his own evidence. >> dan, let's turn to her economic plan because she and tim kaine are stomping on their jobs plan and that jobs plan as far as i can them the centerpiece is a big new $275 billion spending plan on infrastructure, a terrible word, but it means roads, bridges, another things. >> that sounds to me a lot like a version of the 2009 stimulus. >> well, palm, it sounds a lot to me like frank lindel no's roosevelt work project administrations in the days of the depression. she is talking about saying, we are going to make the biggest investments in jobs since world war ii. we will build tunnels, bridges, ports, water systems. this is the sort of economic program you would propose if you

comey, because in my opinion he never intended to indict mrs. clinton.e wanted to wag his finger but never to indict her because it would have been too politically charged. >> but it is unusual for them to wait that long to interview somebody like this, and this was a huge benefit to her. >> oh, of course. but again we come back to the point that comey's conclusions in which he called her, what, extremely careless as opposed to grossly negligence was a matter of semantic parsing in order to avoid reaching the logic of his own evidence. >> dan, let's turn to her economic plan because she and tim kaine are stumping on their jobs plan, and that jobs plan as far as i can understand, the center piece of it is a big, new, $275 billion spending plan on infrastructure. a terrible word, but it means roads and bridges and other things. that sounds to me a lot like a version of the 2009 stimulus. >> well, paul, it sounds a lot to me like franklin delano roosevelt's work projects administration during the days of the depression. she's talking about saying, we're goi

comey was asked by congress if she lied to the american people.e said he wasn't going to address that. one way or the other. it seems like she's taking the situation maybe a little more nebulous here and trying to make it more clear cut than it is. >> well, i think that's right, steve. i think she gets caught in the weeds and when you're accused of something, you want to go into the nuances et scetera. what the secretary should say if asked about this again, she should say look. director comey's testimony for the house committee, he's a little unclear. before the house committee, he was very clear. that there were 122 e-mails that had classified information, but the key factor is three of them were marked classified and there by secretary clinton could have only assumed three were classified documents and of those, two turned out to be improperly classified. so out of 30,000 was marked classified that she apparently received or sent out over her server, and that's the bottom line. only three out of 30,000 of those three two of them were marked imp

last week i asked her about the fact that fbi director comey said that what she had been telling the american people for a year about her private e-mails was untrue. was false. here's how she responded in that interview. >> director comey said that my answers were truthful and what i've said is consistent with what i have told the american people. >> and after independent fact checkers came down on here -- on her, here's how clinton responded to that question on friday. >> i may have short circuited, and for that, i will, you know, try to clarify. because i think chris wallace and i were probably talking past each other. >> but congressman bacera, she didn't short circuit. and we didn't talk past each other. the problem was that clinton misrepresented what james comey told the american people. >> chris, what director comey told the american people was that after a thorough version by the fbi, that of the more than 30,000 e-mails that hillary clinton had provided for this investigation, that there was no wrongdoing. and -- >> well, no, he didn't say that. that's not even what i'm talk

are you saying that you don't trust james comey? >> what i'm saying is that the evidence indicates to me that this should be fully investigated. i cannot say that mr. comey has completed a full investigation, but it seems like he has not. i think there is a cloud over this. just because he might conclude that there's not a chargeable offense does not indicate that there's no wrong doing. this is not healthy. you do not use the secretary of state position to benefit your private foundation. >> and of course hillary clinton denies that there was any use of the state department to benefit the clinton foundation. let me ask you about what donald trump has been saying about rigged elections, et cetera, et cetera. do you think that there's any danger in suggesting to americans they can't trust the department of justice, they can't trust the fbi, they can't trust the media, they can't trust the democratic process of elections? does it get dangerous that message to go out to americans? >> look, what he was doing is what's done in every elec

comey said my answers were truthful and what high said is consistent with what i have told the american people. >> comey did testify clinton was truthful to the fbi but not necessarily to the american people. >> secretary clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her e-mails sent or received. was that true? >> that's not true. there were a small number of portion markings on three of the documents. >> secretary clinton said i did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail. there is no classified material, was that true? >> there was classified material e-mailed. >> according to a new cbs news poll, the democratic convention did give clinton a five-point bump in percentage of voters who find her honest and trust worthy. charlie that puts her at 34%. two points behind donald trump. >> thank you, nancy. >> tonight, much of historic ellicot city is in ruins, a storm dumped 6 inch of rain in less than two hours. people formed human chains to rescue drivers trapped. errol barnett is there. >> reporter: the devastation was ever where. 200 buildings damaged. gaping hole

>> well i think she's acknowledged what she said to comey is honest.comey has also that she wouldn't be prosecuted. >> hey, listen, this is the thing, this thing is so confusing quite frankly, i wish my candidate in all seriousness would say i'll apologize if she has already. two, i won't do it again. three i was wrong, four, i told the government and told the truth, and leave it at that. when you get into the narrative and explaining, it becomes a long question and answer period. and i'll be honest with you, it just doesn't serve accuracy purposes. but it also doesn't serve where she is. she's leading in the polls right now. clearly this issue is not affecting her in the poles vis-a-vis the voters, democrats, independents or republicans. i mean, she's getting 42% of the republican vote and 80% of the democratic vote. so, i wouldn't talk about it anymore. i'd say those three or four things and leave it there. i promise you, you all will stop talking about it. >> well, i don't know we'll stop talking about it until she acknowledges whether or not she wa

but bureau director james comey says some were not. clinton's admission today, she short-circuited her answers. listen. >> that what i told the fbi, which he said was truthful, is consistent with what i have said publicly. so i may have short-circuited, and for that i will try to clarify because i think chris wallace and i were probably talking past each other because, of course, he could only talk to what i had told the fbi, and i appreciated that. now i have acknowledged repeatedly that using two e-mail accounts was a mistake. and i take responsibility for that. but i do think having him say that my answers to the fbi were truthful, and then i should quickly add what i said was consistent with what i had said publicly. and that's really sort of in my view trying to tie both ends together. >> joining me now, cnn politics reporter, m.j. lee. we just heard a clip of that long press conference she just held. what else did hillary clinton say about these e-mails? >> reporter: well, as you heard, she did acknowledge that she short-circuite

american public were true. >> chris, that's not what i heard director comey say. and i thank you for giving me the opportunity to, in my view, clarify. director comey said that my answers were truthful, and what i've said is consistent with what i have told the american people. that, there were decisions discussed and made to classify retro actively certain of the e-mails. >> but in a congressional hearing on july 7th, director comey directly contradicted what you had told the public. >> secretary clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her e-mails, either sent or received. was that true? >> that's not true. >> secretary clinton said i did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail. there is no classified material. was that true? >> no, there was classified material e-mailed. >> as for clinton's claim that director comey called her statements truthful, "the washington post" gave it a rating of four out of four pinocchios. >>> hillary clinton is headed to omaha, nebraska, today after covering more than 600 miles over the weekend by bus. c

and in questioning, director comey made the point that the three e-mails, out of the 30,000, did not have the appropriate markings. and it was therefore reasonable to conclude that anyone, including myself, would have not suspected that they were classified. >> reporter: here's what comey said on july 5th. >> from the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the state department in 2014, 110 e-mails and 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information, at the time they were sent or received. >> reporter: a new poll by gen forward conducted by the university of chicago found that more than half of the young white voters polled believe that hillary clinton intentionally broke the law when she used a private e-mail server. but only 21% of young african-american voters polled belief she intentionally broke the law, chris. >> jennifer, thank you. >>> we are now less than an hour from the start of the opening ceremony for the summer olympics in brazil. but amid all the pageantry, these olympics are facing major problems, from pollution to doping to se

he was a special prosecutor and i think jim comey appointed into that position and that is what one would expect. we want somebody that can look at these facts and circumstances especially on the public corruption front and make a prosecutorial decision. tom: you know there's a lot of people that go the justice department is not going to do anything as long as president obama is in office, political influence on that so that they won't do anything is there another way to get a special prosecutor? >> the special prosecutor would have at least a taken one step further and at least part to the grand jury which i think so many people were upset about last time he comey came out and said no reasonable prosecutor would have would have taken this. no reasonable prosecutor would have done anything with this. wait a second. as much respect that we all have for the fbi in the chief investigator on this case, he is the investigator, not the prosecutor. the investigator investigates and the prosecutors are supposed to prosecute and bring it to the grand jury who is supposed to decide whether or not t

that's not what fbi director jim comey said.n. >> secretary clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her e-mails either sent or received. was that true? >> that's not true. >> secretary clinton said i did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail. there is no classified material. was that true? >> there was classified material e-mailed. >> so let's get reaction from california republican congressman darryl issa. did this round of answers clear anything up? >> when you trickle down on four ping knownows -- pinocchios you get 12. this is a trait of secretary clinton, says something that isn't true, repeats it, double downs on it. when she selfed the highest level of pinocchios from the "washington post," which is certainly not a conservative newspaper, she then continues to try to press it again. you concentrated -- many people are -- on the fbi director's statements but she also said in that interview that she never publicly said anything that was untrue, and of course, ultimately the inaccuracy of what

so how aggressive was director comey in his investigation of mrs. clinton?at in front of congress. the whole oath thing compelled him to do that. >> i would think so. cheryl: the judge. you're just the judge to me. >> you're cheryl to me. a pleasure. cheryl: connell, over to you. connell: some news coming from overseas. the u.s. has conducted more airstrikes on isis, this time in libya, targeting the city of ser of the, a primary strong hold in libya. the pentagon noting that this came at the request of the libyan government. they also point out it was authorized by president obama following recommendations from both the secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs. cheryl? cheryl: connell, what lies beneath the problem because they keep piling up in rio? new warning for athletes days before the olympic games. connell: that is ugly there. billionaires standing by hillary clinton and taking a swing at donald trump. >> leadership is not yelling and screaming and intimidating. you know what we call a person like that? the screamers, yellers, people

comey said she did send classified information. >> she said that's not true.ing was handed over to the state department and he said that's not true. no charges were filed. let me read you something from investors business daily editorial. they say these e-mails turned up, the new ones, only after a state department search of huma abedin's computer files. clinton is a bold faced, if not pathological liar. she very likely compromised national security. she most likely broke the law, a fact even the fbi acknowledged when it dismissed the case. >> there you see the disconnect between director comey's decision not to press charges and the evidence that's laid before the american people. and i think how does that intersect with our world right now? we have a presidential campaign going on. she is leading in the polls, she's leading in the battleground state but she's got a real press problem with the voters. it stems from all of this. she said she was truthful to director comey. there's all kinds of problems on that. you see the whole trust thing boiling down to in

american public were true. >> chris, that's not what i heard director comey say. and i thank you for giving me the opportunity to, in my view, clarify. director comey said that my answers were truthful and what i've said is consistent with what i have told the american people. that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the e-mails. >> but in a congressional hearing on july 7th, director comey directly contradicted what you had told the public. >> secretary clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her e-mails either sent or received. was that true? >> that's not true. >> secretary clinton said i did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail, there is no classified material. was that true? >> no, there was classified material e-mailed. >> as for clinton's claim that director comey called her statements truthful "the washington post" gave it a rating of four out of four pinocchios. >>> let's turn to the business headlines. stress test results on european banks they're helping to boost markets overseas.

. >> reporter: director comey had said that my answers in my fbi interview were truthful.s the bottom line here. >> that's not true. there were a small number of portion markings on i think three of the documents. >> james comey did tell congress there was no basis to conclude clinton was untruthful but he was referring to her fbi interview, not to her other public statements as clinton suggested last weekend. comey described her handling of classified inform as extremely careless but declined to charge her with misconduct. >>> people who have concerns about hillary clinton and donald trump could be turning to other parties. the appeal does seem to be growing. gena, both the green and libertarian pares are getting more traction this cycle. >> reporter: they are. we talked to people on the ground who are getting many more calls. they want to make sure voters know this presidential election is not a 2-horse race of the green party, the libertarian party held events today, working to get their nominees and platforms on the debate stage next month. as hillary clinton and donal

american public were true. >> chris, that's not what i heard director comey say, and i thank you foring me the opportunity to, in my view, clarify. director comey said my answers were truthful and what i said was consistent with what i have told the american people. >> now that was widely reported in the press, but it was ignored in the "new york times," so "the times" wrote an article criticizing her own paper for not running the story about hillary clinton, comey, and all that. joining us now from north carolina, bernie goldburg. so the basic contention is this, the washington post gave mrs. clinton four pinocchios because what she was saying is in a narrow interview that she did with the fbi, comey said that interview she didn't mislead, but in the broader investigation, comey clearly said she did mislead the american people, so hillary clinton focused in on that one thing and that's called parsing. and everybody knows what happened. fox news knows, everybody knows. "new york times" knows, too, but chose not even to report it. that's pretty big, is it not? >> very big. two weeks a

comey said she never lied in her statement tots fbi.esterday in the black and hispanic conference she tried to clar foy. >> director comey said my answers in the fbi interview were truthful. that's the bottom line. what i told the fbi which he said was truthful is consistent with what i said publicly. and so i may have short circuited and for that i will try to clar foy. i think chris wallace and i were talking past each other. >> reporter: clinton never said why she spent classified e-mails. three of which were marked classified. >> in questioning, director comey made the .3 e-mails out of the 30000 did not have the appropriate markings. and it was therefore reasonable to conclude that anyone, including myself would have not suspected that they were classified. >> reporter: comey said three classified were not marked appropriately but said she and her team were careless and any reasonable person would not have sent them in the system. she maintains to the public she was consistent and truthful through all. >> what is going on in the ca

comey said that wasn't true. she had to walk that back. she's saying now, and it's different than what she said on sunday, comey says what i told the fbi was true. and we don't know if it was true or not because we don't know what she told the fbi, but comey did say it was true. but as for the assertion that what she told the fbi is the same thing she told the american people, instead of quoting comey now, she's quoting herself. she's basically doing it on her own story. >> you're being nice. you said she told you something. she's saying something different now than she told you on sunday. you call that clintonian. a lot of us, including me, might say that's lying. >> well, i'll leave that to you. i would call it clintonian. i think it's kind of parsing words, but clearly, on sunday, she made it sound like comey had given her the good housekeeping seal of approval. he didn't. today, in effect, what she's saying is i give myself the good housekeeping seal of approval. >> okay, let's move on to another story in the news, the $400 million wha

republicans in congress called director comey to testify and explain his decision. they also demanded to see copies of the fbi's notes. a lot of them, of course, are classified, so they won't be part of this coming release. for her part, secretary clinton said she regrets using that private e-mail server, but she denied that she broke any laws. still, you can bet secretary clinton's critics will comb over every word of whatever the fbi makes public. and that's fox's top story. hi, katherine. >> portions of the investigative file could be released as essentiearly as this week, possibly tomorrow. a short time ago, the white house said they are not involved. >> i've seen those reports. i can tell you that the white house did not consult with the fbi. about that decision or any of the other decisions that they've made in terms of handling some of the investigative material. >> based on the freedom of information act request, we are expecting the summary of clun's fbi interview known by agents as a 3:02. the fbi does not routinely record interviews and when clinton was q
