welcome to "hannity." tonight, donald trump, hillary clinton participated in a presidential forum earlier tonight. clinton went first, where she was asked about a private e-mail server scandal and once again came up with a new excuse, spinning the fact the fbi found it held classified information. now we have a new excuse. let's take a look at it. >> classified material has a header which says "top secret, secret, confidential." nothing, and i will repeat this and this is verified in the report by the department of justice, none of the e-mails sent or received by me had such a header. >> as for donald trump, he was asked about the military under president obama's leadership, and used the opportunity to explain how he would take a much different approach than hillary clinton if, in fact, he becomes the commander in chief. >> have you lost faith in the military commanders? >> i have great faith in the military. i have great faith in certain of the commanders, certainly, but i have no faith in hillary clinton
