you know, jay carney should know, remember he was the press secretary during the infamous rollout of and mr. carney stood there for days if not weeks on end, saying it was merely glitches going pretty much the way they expected. the problem with these big major crises like ebola, obamacare, or islamic state is that i think by not looking at what is being reported on cable television, the president has no real sense of the way the public is reacting to it. newspapers do a good job in these cases but by and large they're simply reporting the news. cable, nonetheless, holds kind of mirror up to the reality of these crises and give you a sense what the public expects. the president's problem has been that he has been kind of construed as reacting to crises, like islamic state. got in there after two beheadings, with ebola he is reacting to the crisis there ultimately appointing an ebola czar and the sense that he reacts to these crises rather than starts to get at them in the begin something why i think his presidency is in trouble. and you know he doesn't have to watch cable television a

said. >> first of all, jay carney said that in april and the information came to jay carney in may so jay carney was telling the truth at the time he said it. i think this is a mountain out of a mole hill. some 20-year-old did something that's legal in colombia. he's working as a voluntary -- >> but tax dollars paid for him to travel there. >> we reimbursed his travel cost. compare that to a united states senator -- >> talking about senator vitter but that's apples and oranges. >> but it is not because he's much more important person. >> in that case he came clean and admitted what he had's done. it is not really about the underlying prostitution allegation because that's legal there zplip don't care some 25-year-old volunteer who's not married with a united states senator -- >> not about the underlying. >> here's problems about the underlying. what they said is we didn't want to investigate this. we want to investigate the secret service because they protect the president. we hold them to a hire standard than we do some volunteer. whether he did it or not i think it relevant. to say

by monday jay carney was dismissing them. they did a thorough investigation in three days, over the weekend, and cleared this guy? thoroughly in an international investigation? absurd. >> tell us the truth. what happened here in your view? >> in my view there's a culture of deception at the white house. i mean, this is just par for the course. if you think about it, think about the things they have told us in recent years. they have told us that no one in the white house edited benghazi talking points. no one in america's going to lose their health plan. not a smidgen of corruption at the irs and now no specific credible allegations. every one of those statements was knowingly true. now, one time -- maybe that's a mistake. twice, that's troubling. three, four, five statements like that, that is a pattern. there is a culture in the white house that encourages and condones deception of the american people when they think that the president is in danger. >> must everything be political? must everything be political? i mean, they

where did jay carney get that from? clearly the intelligence community briefed the white house and given him various talking points, briefing papers, and that's what they are basing it on. to suggest the community did not give him a heads-up may not stand up. and new republican lindsey graham wants to get a look at the presidential daily brief. the intelligence document the president gets every day. you've been reporting on it, our katherine harris first breaking that, look, she was told over a year ago in that pdb as its known, the president was warned that isis is gaining steam. lindsey graham firing off this letter tonight to the president saying, turn these over just like president bush did after the 9/11, he turned over some of his pdbs to the 9/11 commission to get a better sense of what the intelligence is. josh said it is highly unlikely he'll turn it over as a highly classified document, but the point is, what the president aware of this or not? but there are signs saying he was. >> thank you. >>> how did presi

jay carney, josh earnest, whoever is speaking to the president may lawfully lie.of course, can be prosecuted if we lie to the government. but the government can't lawfully lie to itself. so if somebody from the administration lied in an official inquiry to an investigator from the congress and we know there was an official inquiry, that is a felony. so the cover-up to the congress, the congressman is right to be upset. they were lied to and somebody can be prosecuted for that. >> you have the legal question from "tweet the panel." can congress request the documents from the white house council's investigation, or is it protected by executive privilege? >> it is not protected by executive privilege because it does not go to executive dlib a deliberative process. they can't get the president's advance plans, but they can get where he had been and who was with him. >> the white house stupidly exacerbated the problem today by coming out and saying from the podium that carol linig, that this was old news. well, it wasn't old news. that is a lie. not only ticked off the

in that same briefing, i repeatedly pressed jay carney on whether she looked at any hotel records as the secret service looked at records from the hotel in order to implicate their officials, and jay carney would not answer that question repeatedly. interesting, because rum bler now, her name is being bantied about as being on the short list to replace eric holder as the attorney general. if she is nominated, you can bet republicans on the hill and in confirmation hearings will be looking for more documents as you suggested. i mentioned jonathan dack who was the white house advanced volunteer involved in this, he now works at the state department in the office of global women's issues. guys? >> oh, wow. you just can't make that up. ed henry, thank you so much. >> reporter: good to see you. >> stephen, there's so many angles to this story, of course; the safety and security of the president, the potential cover up by the white house and the hypocrisy about women's issues. what strikes you the most about this story? >> i think the apparent disparate treatment between the secret service

you heard jay carney say there was no involvement by the white house. yet in your story, you say specifically, david nyeland was told to withhold all the information in his report because it was potentially damaging to the administration. now that is a hefty claim. you want to tell us how you got that information? >> there was an initial review that jay carney talked about that happened in the days after this trip. in the wake of the scandal. they said there was no evidence, what they didn't say is that the secret service director did say there was evidence and they chalked it up to rumor. subsequently, after jay carney's statement that you heard, the secret service director came back and presented more evidence. the white house again interviewed some of the people, including jonathan dauk and said they had no reason to believe there was any misconduct. secondly, the inspector general came up with additional evidence in his own review. he presented it in a draft report in the fall of 2012 and his superiors instructed him to remove this information and d

. >> how can you say that when several months ago jay carney said don't worry about it. >> i'm not inidual cases. >> ed got stiff armed. immigration and custom enforcement acknowledges that it's true but says that those released cases were by and large dictated by special circumstances outside of the agency's control. kimberly, can i ask you about that. are they talking about other sort of legal maneuvers these people might have been involved in which is why they apparently didn't have control over their outcome? >> what they're saying is somewhere along the way in the process, they lost control of it essentially. they don't want to say that but that's what they're inferring. somewhere in the court system there was a disconnect -- >> or a deal? >> or a deal made specifically that affected this outcome. but this is how people can slip through and get -- it doesn't matter. it's like obamacare. it was sloppy, it wasn't ready to go for game time and this also, i think, was done in a haphazard, reckless way and all i can think about is politics being involved here and getting people to sup

joining me tonight, former obama press secretary jay carney. us, ari fleischer, former press secretary for president george w. bush. so secretary panetta saying what john mccain said to you last month on cnn that the obama administration could have left a residual force in iraq and should have left a residual force in iraq. you obviously disagree with mccain. is panetta wrong as well? >> the fact of the matter is as i discussed with senator mccain, the president did try to negotiate with the sovereign iraqi government for the presence of a residual force in iraq of u.s. troops for the training and ct missions that were vital to the u.s. interest. and the iraqi government refused and no u.s. military leader or civilian defense secretary would have agreed to place u.s. troops in a country like iraq absent the immunities that we demanded in those negotiations. >> ari, what about panetta's comments? >> most people, not everybody, most people in the administrations are willing to share the real things that happened inside. i happen to finish secreta

so does the inspector general. >> jay carney was asked about this whole thing.ck in 2012 was asked about did anybody at the white house know about this, that there was somebody from the white house involved? and he said this. >> was the president aware that there were allegations like this before the news report this morning? >> i don't think so. i doubt it. i don't know that any of us were aware of it 'til we read newspaper reports. >> okay. that as it turns out is absolutely a lie because according to the "washington post" today, senior aides knew after the scandal, the weekend after the scandal that there was apparently a white house assistant, a volunteer, per diem kid, the son of a big donor involved. the person who -- one of the key people, according to the "washington post," who knew about it was the white house counsel, katherine ruemmler. she had an investigation over the weekend. secret service went to her and gave her all the evidence, including receipts and photocopies of this guy's room down in cartagena. apparently the way they work is if you bring

. >> i think jay carney made him look worse -- neil: so we're on-air force one. >> it made him look worse if you ask me. he should have said, he watches everything. he knows everything everyone is saying at all time. it made him sound that he's flippant and he doesn't care. >> he also, the administration went to the point of grabbing soaps phone records or push foght scc to have hallway monitors, on to the fact that jay carney, he has made aware that the president is being briefed on exactly what the tv shows are talking about. neil: they knew everything we were saying. >> even people in this administration, she comessafter fox news all the time. they're clearly watching and in tune. neil: bottom line is though thaa there is a pattern of diss missing the agitators. they're all agitating now in the media. right? >> i agree neil. i think all of us we can benefit from listening to a variety of news sources even when they disagree with us. i think the president should be aware of what his critics are saying. why they're saying it. what are the motivations with whom he disagrees soak look for

we found a quote today from jay carney who when he was press secretary a year ago, last halloween, he said right at the podium, nouri maliki was coming the next day, saying we're aware of isis, they're a threat, growing, they're launching attacks, this was jay carney a year ago talking about the threat from isis. he didn't just pop off from the podium. that was probably in his briefing, something in the intelligence community. in terms of what they knew a year ago it is clear they knew publicly at least they had some inkling of the threat. >> and in the past they would take the briefing and ask people questions, the president has decided not to do it. >> sure, and the former cia director said look back in the clinton administration got frustrated because president clinton also liked to take a copy himself and not be briefed directly. and woolsey said he still wanted to have that back and forth. and he said today, the former cia director, president obama may have missed some nuance or details by not having it directed to him. >> all right, thank you. >>> meanwhile, the suspect in the o

this is what jay carney told reporters days later. >> there have been no alleged misconduct anyone on white house staff. there's no indication that any member of the white house advance team engaged in any improper or -- conduct or behavior. >> kristen welker and i have been talking on this matter during the day. "the washington post" treat it as a major story. they believe the evidence is there that the white house did not act on this the same way they did in dealing with the secret service agents. what's your feeling up there? >> well, it does raise questions about transparency. why didn't we learn when this investigation was going on, that the white house had evidence to suggest that this woman was signed into the room of johnny dach. i've been speaking to white house officials throughout the day. they're pushing back against this report. they they're defending the review that took place. i spoke with a former official who was engaged in that review who said they interviewed johnny dach three separate times, as well as several officials who were on that trip with him and no one saw

thumbs on what should be a law enforcement investigation. >> but in terms of the press secretary, jay carney, saying, really, unequivocally, that there was no direct white house connection. that was made clear several times. what does this do now to credibility of the white house? here's yet another situation where they say one thing, and then there's a different outcome, a different result. >> you know, there's a he said/she said. this is a he said/they said. the young person in question here, he's denying it. that's important. but when you have a they, all this body of evidence that contradicts it, it starts to make people question the white house story. same thing on leon panetta, robert gates, all the books that are coming out where the white house says one thing, other people say another. benghazi, dealing with the video, and what's happening now, too, is the white house has totally lost the control of the issue agenda in advance of the midterm elections. >> perception is everything, of course. do you think that the cumulus effect that we're talking about, the effect it has in terms of

even former members of the president's own team are taking pot shots, but not jay carney. will ask him how he thinks his old boss is doing. tasered by police. what would you do if this happened to you? who is to blame for cases like these? and high school football team season canceled over charges of shocking abuse by players by some parents say they want the team back on the field. they're s and an excellent source of fiber to help support regularity. mmmm. these are good! the tasty side of fiber. from phillips whenwork with equity experts who work with regional experts who work with portfolio management experts that's when expertise happens. mfs. because there is no expertise without collaboration. not to be focusing, again, on my moderate my goal was to finally get in shape. to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. so i finally made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

now, take a look at then-white house propaganda -- sorry, press secretary jay carney completely denying it during a presser in april of 2012. take a look. >> there have been no specific credible allegations of misconduct by anyone on the white house advance team or white house staff. nevertheless, out of due diligence the white house council's office has conducted a review of the white house advance team. and in concluding that review came to the conclusion that there's no indication that any member of the white house advance team engaged in any improper conduct or behavior. >> now, that's not all. "the washington post" is also reporting that the lead investigator in this scandal felt pressured by the acting dhs inspector general charles k. edwards to cover-up this mess. now, the nrvegt allegedly told senate staffers "we were directed at the time to delay the report of the investigation until after the 2012 election." pretty unbelievable. but should anybody be surprised? my next guest is urging the white house to come clean about the scandal. utah congressman jason chaffetz is with us.

this is jay carney almost a year ago talking about the threat of isil. he didn't just pop off at the podium. that was probably something in his briefing book, something in the intelligence community. in terps of what they knew a year ago, it's what they said publicly that they had some inkling of the threat. >> and one last point on this is past presidents usually would take the briefing and ask the people that presented it questions. the president has decided not to do that. >> sure. and jim woolsey, the former cia director said today on fox, back in the clinton administration he got frustrated because president clinton also liked to take a copy himself and not be briefed directly. woolsey thought, look, while clinton was digging deep on it himself and marking notations he said, to fox, he still wanted to have that back and forth. he said today, woolsey, the former cia director, president obama may have missed some nuance, may have missed some details by not having it briefed directly to him. >> the suspect in the oklahoma beheading has been formally ch

and we want to bring in now former press secretary to president obama, jay carney. morning to you. >> good morning. how are you? >> doing well. so i want to talk to you about this statement that we have here that was released from north korea, trying to explain what we're watching on the screen and why they released enter fowle. they say quote, comrade kim jong-un in deference to agreement between the supreme leaders of the dprk, north korea, and the u.s., granted a special dispensation for the american jeffrey edward fowle. what's the agreement you think that he's talking about between the u.s. and north korea? >> i think that is a figure leaf. and not, doesn't represent a real fact behind this case. i think that you know, the north korean leader needs to take this action as ambassador richardson was saying in a way to try to thaw relations a little bit. and he needs to pin it on the united states. it's certainly the case throughout the obama administration, as was the case in prior administrations that the united states continues to press for the release of indivi

this is jay carney now.l of 2012, 7 months before the election, watch. >> there are no to my knowledge and have been no credible or specific allegations of misconduct by any member of the white house advance team or white house staff. but out of due diligence this review was conducted and there is no indication of any misconduct. bill: you put that in a different frame. april 2012. elections 7 months after that time. the timing -- is there a suggestion there has been an attempt to sweep that away because of the election? >> yes. another thing the "washington post" is reporting and the white house denies it had any political connection. but "the washington post" is claiming they have sources saying the white house inspector general's office was told repeatedly in private, stop investigating this. don't go after the white house. this is an election year. that's an allegation. jason chaffetz and others have written a letter saying give us your documents. what did you know about this potential white house involv

[laughter] seventy know the question that preceded this. they're response to a bill o'riley's question just before the 2014 super bowl of the irs scandal he said no corruption? obama says not even a smidgen of corruption. it is hard to understand when news of the i.r.a. scandal broke he said it is inexcusable and americans have a right to be angry. i emigre. what? now there's not a smidgen of corruption not only that that investigation is still ongoing how can you say that? the investigation is not finished. it is pretty bold and strong and we revealed to the american people exactly what we understood that the time to make a claim in response to the inquiry about benghazi. to see th

liz: keith, you had mentioned ebola and, of course, earlier today jay carney, the former press secretarysaid, what? maybe we do need to stop or at least consider halting travel from the area. of course, he doesn't speak for the president anymore..3 but when you start to see this scene which is, of course, one of the nurses who has to be now moved to one of theefour special places on the mappin the united states that can really handle this because it's too confusing and there are too many unknowns3 mike's not wrong. get in and buyythings, but get ready for a roller coaster ride, is that fair, keith? >> yeah, that is fair. the market is reacting to every little sound bite that's coming through. you mentioned ebola, liz, one of the things, the impact that i mentioned that ebola's having as opposed to some of the other things is just take a lookkat the hospittlity and leisure complex today. air lines, travel agents and hotels are all up today. you would think that they would continue to be selling off, but they're bouncing back because they're as oversold as everything else in this market as

remember, two years ago jay carney repeatedly denied there was a white house connection. >> white house records down in clol b colombia to see if any white house staff -- >> i'm not going to get into the specifics. i would simply say that the review the white house counsel oversaw and led produced no indication of any misconduct, and again i'm not going to get into specifics of it, and what i also won't do is engage in speculation. >> so they would not get into the specifics of what investigation they had done. jonathan dock has an attorney who tells us, quote, the poths bases its allegations almost exclusively on a hotel log with the name of a prostitute and a room number. yet neither jonathan dac h's name nor his signature appears on the hotel log ands a the post reported another instance of a mistaken hotel log wrongly implicated a secret service agent as well. >> the point here is that the administration maybe wanted to keep this quiet until after the 2012 election, is that the bottom line here? >> jason chaffetz, a republican from utah, who has been investigating various secret ser

what's also interesting, april 2012 i pressed jay carney on how tough that white house investigation was. >> did the white house counsel check the hotel records down in columbia to see if any white house staff -- >> i don't want to get into the specifics. i would semimply say that the review that the white house oversaw produced no indication of any misconduct. >> the similar hotel records were used to implicate secret service officials. now, kathryn ruemmler conducted the white house investigation. she's on the short list to attorney general to potentially replace eric holder. meanwhile, the white house volunteer involved, jonathan, his attorney gave fox a statement a few moments ago saying the bases it with the name of a prostitute and a room number, nor his jonathan dach's name nor his signature appears on a hotel log or any piece of paper with a foreign national. he works at the state department working on global women's issues. gretchen. >> you can't make that up, actually. all right. ed henry, thank you so much. >>> well, for some real talk now on all of this, let's get the rea

here to chew it over with us is former obama press secretary jay carney and bill crystal. with you, bill. that ad against the democrat in nebraska is compared with the willie horton ad. the facts of the ad are correct. he did support this good time law which had early release of prisoners but that context of it makes it a little less than reputable. >> if facts are correct, facts are correct. a lot of advertising pushes on the edge in terms of emotion it tries to call up but hopefully voters look past that. the facts are the facts. >> i think the fundamental issue is the side by side photograph. there was a menacing looking guy, a criminal, next to the candidate and that's supposed to send the message. politics is hard ball as we get close to election day. another fundamental fact about this election day is that republicans across the country in state after state after state have been aggressively trying to make it harder for some people to vote citing fraud that doesn't exist. >> "the washington post" had a huge front page article about how much thought there has been. >>

he said he learned about it in the media jay carney says he learned about the v.a.the media i begin to think i want my president to have more information than i do. and that's -- you can't make decision unless you have good information. >> well, this requires the president to be engaged in curious and active. and he is not this president has lazy attitude towards the job that he has got. he goes a year without talking to president karzai of afghanistan. predecessor talked to karzai frequently, several times a month. he went almost a year without talking to prime minister maliki in iraq. he has no relationship with him. he shows up late in the oval office. he has avoided what is it 60-some odd percent of his presidential daily briefs. he does not like to have the cia brief him in person. he would rather get a piece of paper. a president who is disengaged and not really involved and active in the job. there was a study recently on the number of phone calls and contacts he had with foreign leaders. i was astonished high point in two months july of this year in november

. >> it's the jay carney of ebola.you need is somebody who knows something about medicine and politics, perhaps. >> i'm going to represent the side of the critics who say a lot of health care professionals have defended this choice of somebody who has managerial experience that can take all the advice and the criticism of what's happened, put it all together and manage us through this process because we've been lacking leadership. i'm providing the other side here. >> lobbyist for fan any may, the fannie mae economic crisis came out of fannie mae among other things. >> joe biden's son was arrested for coke on friday. maybe he was busy with that. >> the big news of the day, this morning, what is circulating like fire is the fact that when ron klain begins his tenure, he gets closer inside the white house. he'll be working directly with the chief of staff and top counsel and we know that he was only going to be there for a year so the talk is perhaps he would inch his way into that job. >> so klain is a political hack. b

. >> several months ago jay carney said, don't worry. we're not releasing anybody who is dangerous. >> we talk about why we believe it's important for us to increase security resources at the border to protect the border. we talk about how we believed that the deportation policy in the country should be focused on those individuals who pose a risk to the community and that will continue to be the focal point of our efforts. i'm not in a position to discuss individual cases. >> republican senator john con anyone is furious about the revolution, some released were accused homocide and other serious crimes saying, quote, time and again this demonstration it believe it is above the law. and dianne black says the continued incompetence of this administration is stunning, and, quote, even if the administration's assurances about the criminal backgrounds of those released were simply a mistake, it reinforces at pattern of bureaucratic inentivitude in the obama administration which underscores why the american people don't trust them. >> on just

jay carney denied involvementment. >> there is no indication that any member of the team engaged in improper conduct or behavior. >> when reached by phone, he wouldn't comment, but his attorney strongly denied the allegations, calling them utterly and completely false. overnight a spokesman said as was reported two years ago, the white house conducted an internal review that did not report inappropriate behavior, but they suggest there was an attempt to cover up the facts citing investigators who told staffers we were directed at the time to delay the report until after the 2012 election. the white house points out a bipartisan committee later questioned that account saying there was no corroboration. the prostitution scandal was a series of mishaps. julia pierson resigned last week after a knife-toting intruder made it deep inside the white house. three staffer who is raised questions about a white house role said they were put on administrative leave, but officials say that is not the reason they were placed on leave. craig? >> from 1600 pennsylvania, thank you. some of our nation's busies

on our show last week, former white house press secretary jay carney said it looked as though democrats bad night on tuesday. robert gibbs, his predecessor, previously predicted that republicans will retake the senate. why do you think it is that it looks, at least according to former obama press secretaries, like you're going to have a bad tuesday? >> you know what, i don't think that anyone can predict these races at this point. on nearly all of these top races are within the margin of error. you're talking to someone from the state of minnesota where al franken won by 312 votes last time. we elected a governor named jesse ventura. a lot of things happen. it's down to the wire. and i'm heartened by what you see in the early turnout in states like georgia. the energy is everywhere in that state. they are excited about nunley's race. she's doing well in the debates. early turnout there is higher than they can believe. 212,000 people that they have registered early. you have north carolina which you just discussed, they have outpaced 2012 for who has voted early. these are good signs. so

reject such a travel ban that a growing number of democrats, including his former press secretary jay carney, are now advocating. for the second straight day, the president canceled a fund-raiser to pin down meetings on ebola. saying the republicans cannot help noting, three weeks before a critical midterm election. >> i was likewise glad to see the president get off the campaign trail yesterday to focus on the crisis. people are scared. we need all hands on deck. >> reporter: white house officials continue to stress they believe the vast majority of the public is safe. he said the president is deadly serious about staying on top of it. >> what you are seeing is the kind of tenacious response that the american people are counting on. and there have been shortcomings that have been identified. there have also been responses to the shortcomings to try to close those gaps. >> reporter: many of the short comings, the second nurse infected with ebola, was able to take a flight from cleveland to dallas. there are conflicting reports whether she was fully forthcoming with the cdc about her symptoms

. >> the former white house press secretary, the cnn commentator jay carney predicting one week fromay, democratic candidates will be licking their wounds from some painful election day results. the balance of power in the u.s. congress is at stake in these midterm elections. republicans certainly have a real shot at taking control of the house of representatives but could take control of the u.s. senate as well. just a handful of extremely tight races will be the deciding factor in these contests. president obama has been virtually on the campaign trail for a lot of democratic candidates who were in rough races. many of the democrats keep their distance from a president unpopular in their home districts or states. that wasn't necessarily the case last night. the president was campaigning in wisconsin for the democratic gubernatorial candidate and he zeroed in on a critical issue for voters. >> over the past 4 1/2 years, america's businesses have created more than 10 million new jobs. here's the only problem. wisconsin lags the rest of the country when it comes to job growth. so the

the president's formers press secretary jay carney joining the chorus of people saying there needs toal with this. the president again tonight rejecting that idea saying some experts believe it would be counterproductive and lead to people lying about their travel plans, lying about their health status. this was also the first time the president came out in favor of the possibility of appointing an ebola czar. republicans have been saying for a while he needs to streamline the process and also jumping on him over the rhetoric. noting for example last month the president said it's highly unlikely there'd be an outbreak of ebola in this country. today his press secretary say aemding that by saying it's highly unlikely there would be a widespread outbreak of ebola. a big difference there. i pressed josh earnest on who's going to take responsibility after a series of mistakes. listen. >> we've seen this with other stories. we messed up, somebody dropped the ball, we fumbled. and a person is not held accountable. who's responsible for the shortcomings? >> we've seen in a couple instances d

. >> and even it it appears bill maher and jay carney are not suggesting if not an outright travel banbigger prestruckeds and that's quite interesting because that suggests that even the folks on the left and people normally aligned with the president say, look, deal with the problem here within the united states, but what about these planes that are coming over from west africa some. >> the administration's answer is they have severe restrictions and we know one person got through the restrictions by lying that they know of. >> that's absurd. >> as i said to the president of the flight attendants unit. to think civilians can diagnose the disease at an airport when they, you know -- i just -- it's just insane. you do what you can do to protect the public, and you can do that and they don't do it drives me crazcrazy. last word, henry. >> the fact that the president yesterday and today canceled all of his fund-raising and campaign activity. remember, he's campaigned and fund raised through various crises, right after benghazi and right after the plane being downed over ukraine. the fact

at the time, jay carney strongly denied involvement. i reached out by phone, he wouldn't comment. his attorney strongly denies the allegations to "the washington post," calling them, quote, utterly and completely false. overnight, a white house spokesman said in a statement as was reported more than two years ago, the white house conducted internal review that did not identify any inappropriate behavior on part of the white house advance team. the report suggests there was attempt to cover up the fact, citing a lead homeland security investigation that told staffers we were directed at the time to delay report of the investigation until after the 2012 election. here is where that gets complicated. the white house points out a bipartisan senate subcommittee later questioned that account, saying there was no corroboration. prostitution scandal as you recall was really the first in what became a series of high profile mishaps. julia pierson was brought in as director to overhaul the agency after the colombia incident. she resigned after the fence jumper made it deep inside the white
