and among them was colin powell.t that dinner, former secretary albright asked the others there to give hillary clinton one piece of advice, and colin powell's advice was to use her e-mail account. he said, and i have an e-mail from his principal, confirming this. he told her, and i quote, he shared his use of his e-mail account with secretary clinton, and told her how useful and transfo transformative it was for the department. i received this message from margaret serifino last june when i was checking this story for my book, and she replied, and she made sure i understood the date of the party, because she checked his calendar for it. >> so what is -- >> i have -- so i don't -- >> what is colin powell talking about, then? >> i'm perplexed if he is saying it didn't happen. i understood him to say he doesn't remember it, and ms. serifino said he didn't remember every detail of the dinner, but that it was transformative for the department. i think that's pretty straightforward. you know, i've written a piece about th

and general powell, secretary of state powell has now been twice burned publicly. once by dick cheney, the vice president, vice president cheney's office before he spoke to the u.n. that's one time and now this over a number of years. no wonder he's angry. >> you look at these different places where he used different types of e-mails. it shows he cared what he was e-mailing. and this was actually an issue back then. that was considered to be very important as to who you're e-mailing from where and -- >> do you think secretary of state colin powell was sending out on his personal e-mail account classified information prior to the invasion of iraq? >> it sounds like he was very careful not to. like on every level. >> of course not. also, the system changed so radically between the time powell was secretary of state and hillary clinton was secretary of state that he used his personal e-mail for unclassified information that was not sensitive. just for purposes of speed and purposes of convenience and, again, again, he -- >> she didn't have an official work e-mail. she

but colin powell was not one of those. wonder if colin powell was sitting on the sidelines until he thinks his endorsement might mean something that could come laerp in september or perhaps october or perhaps maybe he just decides to stay out of this race which has become very volatile and very dirty and very -- yeah, just a big fight. >> all right, david chalian, also this weekend, some news about debate prep. it's going on. we know both campaigns say they're doing it. there's an article in "the washington post" today that says the clinton campaign is having a hard time finding someone to play donald trump in the mock debates. >> yeah, and what qualities they're looking for, you know, not somebody who can just do the snl impersonation of donald trump but looking for somebody who is willing to take it to hillary clinton in unexpected ways with maybe with, you know, stories that hillary clinton would rather not be presented with, her husband's past infidelities, whatever donald trump may bring up on the debate stage to knoc

powell did not. clinton had a private email server located at her house. powell did not. the gipp of the list these not the same. >> just because powell did it one way doesn't mean hillary to the it. ousing the private sevenner was wrong. nobody is going to debated that anymore. hillary clinton even said she is sorry for doing it so voters have already had this beaten in to them for months. they already understand this. reflecting think they feel about it people don't private home serverrenned then say you are sorry. >> we have been talking about this. not a new rest. >> no. i'm saying pandemic can start talking about it they reached their conclusion whether or not they will trust hillary clinton. more voter trust hillary clinton than they do donald trump. >>ed aboutenning jackson, thank you. >> thank you. >> up next, donald trump continues to trail hillary clinton in several nationwide polls. his campaign insists that rallies are a better predictor of his support than public polling. chris stirewalt, jason osborne, and richard lowery join us for a kelly file panel this f

powell has finally decided to fire back.eople have been trying to pin it on me read the truth is she was using a her private e-mail server for a year before i sent her a memo telling her what i did which by the way was far different than what she did. powell's defense however just the tip of the iceberg for mrs. clinton because the fbi uncovered nearly 15,000 previously and disclosed e-mails. can you believe that? half of the amount that she said was out there, which means she has been lying about even more e-mails than we knew about and these new e-mails raise serious questions as well about the integrity of the fbi investigation of the fbi's conclusions about hillary, her intent, her lies and their pattern of behavior. the newly discovered e-mails represent barely half of the 30,000 e-mails the clinton's attorneys previously turned over a federal judge in this case brought by judicial watch ordered the state department to expedite its review of those e-mails. the state department has been dragging it out, stonewalling cour

now powell is firing back.erridge has more on that. >> the "new york times" story appears to be a strategic leak to benefit mchuman being and further spread the taint of the e-mail controversy to a republican, former secretary of state colin powell by reporting he recommended private e-mail. it says clinton relayed the claim to fbi agents during her interview, and the summary is in the fbi investigative notes sent to capitol hill this week. during the debates clinton said something quite different. >> secretary powell and close aides to former secretary rice used private e-mail accounts, and now you have these people in the government who are doing the same thing that secretary powle and secretary rice's aides they've been doing to me, which is that i never sent or received any classified materials. >> the former secretary of state colin powell issued a statement that reads in port: general powell has no recollection of the dinner conversation. he did write former secretary clinton an e-mail memo describing his

secretary powell says secretary clinton tried to pin her email scandal on him.e says that's not true. now the clinton campaign just responderring with this statement. hillary clinton has consistently taken responsibility for her decision to use a single email account as she has said for over a year now. it was a mistake and she regrets it. >> let's all go off-the-record. recently there has been heightened cripple criticism of the clinton foundation. even the editorial page of the boston globe is scandalized and how about the ultra liberal "the washington post." head lion just shut it down. but it isn't just the clinton foundation the emails. personal lawyers starting emails and saying personal before anyone else could check it out. what's with that, right? news today that clinton foundation executive doug band we ho we all know is attached to president clinton at the hip emailed huma abedin who is aattached to secretary hillary clinton's hip. emailed that crown prince selma of bahrain wanted to meet with then secretary clinton. email in code. band wrote abedin t

powell used personal e-mail himself as secretary of state. his comments come amid word the fbi has discovered nearly 15,000 new clinton e-mails, which could be released before the election. also today, new questions about the ties between the clinton state department and the clinton foundation. >> there is absolutely no connection between anything that i did as secretary of state and the clinton foundation. >> reporter: but new e-mails released today suggest big money donors to the foundation got expedited access to the secretary of state. in this e-mail, foundation aide clinton aide huma abedin to set up a meeting with a major donor, the crown prince of bahrain. calling him, quote, "a good friend of ours." abedin scheduled the meeting. the clinton foundation recently announced they will no longer accept money from foreign governments or corporations, if hillary clinton becomes president. >> and david wright is with us live from brooklyn tonight. and david, the clinton team now responding to the headlines involving former secretary of state p

powell wasn't looking for fight. he is going to a party on a saturday night and somebody who is snapping pictures on the red carpet asked him about it. his response is no, i'm not responsible about this. he called them on it. >> why is this story, which is difficulty getting sited about. everybody says scandal, scandal, scandal. we flow what happened. it has been digested by every american. hillary shows a secret method of doing phone calls. it is at some risk to being hijacked by somebody. she apologized for it. where do we go from that? isn't that the end of it? >> the problem she keeps running into, she has apologized for it. instead of taking responsibility for it they keep trying to have other people vouch for her. she also try today suggest that comey would vouch for her. when she suggested that he said everything she said was truthful, which is not what he said. if she would take responsibility and say what i did was different than any other secretary of state did that would be one thing. when she tries to rop

powell: we did not know that in may.f -- you had a, nation of risk in the economy and through the last three years, we've been able to point to strong payroll growth as anchoring the central view that the economy is very strong. you can look through volatile gdp growth, which is very volatile on a quarterly basis. when the labor market sends a negative signal for the first time in three years, you have to look at that. the wise thing is to be patient. i think we did the right thing by waiting. michael: you have a background in financial markets. do you think the fed has been pushed around too much by financial market excitation? -- expectation? mr. powell: i do not. market volatility tended to not leave a mark on the real economy. it doesn't really leave a mark on payrolls or growth or inflation. i'm concerned about what is the right thing over the medium and longer-term for the economy, not so much on market reactions in the short term. i don't take about that much. i think about the real economy. michael: monetary poli

but they say powell and clinton had an e-mail exchange about the issue.office released a statement to fox news, reading, in part, quote: he did write former secretary clinton an e-mail memo describing his use of personal aol e-mail account. for unclassified messages and how it vastly improved communications within the state department. at the time there was no equivalent system within the department help used a secure state computer on his desk to manage classified information. "the new york times" reports the e-mail exchange may be in the fbi's files from its investigation into clinton's e-mails. the agency give congress a summary of his interview. jennifer, interesting details and a completely distake on at least an e-mail and some conversation that may or may not have happened. >> reporter: that's right. what is noticeable here -- what is notable here is that when colin powell was secretary of state there was no unclassified e-mail system. that's why he used his aol account. that was not the case once clinton became secretary of state. and separately i

clinton had a private e-mail server at her house, powell did not. >> just because powell did it one way, doesn't mean hillary clinton did it wrong another way. although i will say this using the private server is wrong. nobody is going to debate that anymore. hillary clinton has said she is sorry for doing that. voters have already had this beaten into them for months. they already understand it. >> there are many who argue you don't just exchange classified information on a private home server and then say you're sorry and move on. >> yeah, we have been talking about it for months -- i'm saying people can keep talking about it but most voters already reached their conclusion on whether or not they trust hillary clinton. as of right now, more voters trust hillary clinton than they do her opponent, donald trump. >> all right, good to be on. thank you. >>> all right, next up, donald trump continues to trail hillary clinton in several nationwide polls, but his campaign insists that rallies are a better predictor of his public support than polling. we are joined for a kelly file power panel

they say oh, powell. it was a year after he started using the e-mail my presumption is between trump and hell re-- hillary he would vote for hillary. for him to say a, i have no recollection and b she tried to use me as a shield, there is no reason to disbelieve him. he has no reason. he is not in a fight with her. >> it is even more so. he does have a dog in the fight and it is her. that's how egregiously he is lying. he trashed the bush administration. he came out and trashed trump publicly. if anything he is siding toward hillary clinton. >> but also this seems like an easily disproved lie on the clinton campaign's part which seems unlike them. >> she didn't come out and say it. we know of it because of the fbi's three-hour conversation with her. but she is not on the campaign trail every time somebody flings it her way. oh, colin powell told me to do this. >> i definitely heard -- >> they used that as precedent. >> she was not the only secretary of state. >> did you hear what he did? he had to go in t

colin powell didn't do any of that stuff.nd now if colin powell is telling the truth, we've caught her in another lie because she told the -- she claims she was totally truthful with the fbi. she told the fbi that colin powell gave her the idea to use private e-mail. >> it's not clear what she told the fbi. now they're saying that the fbi specifically asked her about correspondence she had with colin powell, and in response to that, she said, hey, he told me that he did it too. and he's saying i told her the year after. it's not clear whether she lied to the fbi. and colin powell is not a defender of hers. i want to ask you about something else, austan. the thing that caught my eye most of anything today was this business of the clinton foundation. when she became secretary of state, she was not supposed to use that role to advance the clinton foundation. and she was not supposed to make nice-nice with people who are given to the clinton foundation in her role as our secretary, right? you agree with all that? >> well, i don't

i feel a feeling powell was like no more mr. nice guy. >> it makes sense that she's putting this all on a guy named colin because she's so full of crap. you know what he reminds me of? you know when you're in line at the checkout and there's a fight at the checkout line and the person is -- like, looks at you for back-up and you're like i'm out of it, stay out of it. do not pin it on me. you never pin a good thing on someone. even colin knows that this is a bad thing and he's like i'm not getting the blame for this. this is on you, lady. and why do you have to keep bringing me up. it's not fair. but the big story about this is the story was broken by "people" magazine. this wasn't the "new york times" or the "washington post." that means that the new woodward and bernstein were writing about the kardashian's behind all the time. >> and they happened to get a scoop. >> in the hamptons. >> the cool kids have a name for this. they say keep my name out of your mouth. this is colin powell essentially telling hillary clinton keep my n

colin powell had said use private e-mail. colin powell says he has no recollection of that.o "people" magazine. he says, her people have been trying to pin this on me. the truth is, she was using the private e-mail server for a year before i sent her a memo telling her what i did. christine, this is a problem. colin powell doesn't want to be part of this, and he's saying she's misrepresenting his advice. >> she said in those comments -- she would like all of the notes put out and all of the records put out. >> but colin powell doesn't remember saying that. >> clearly he says he doesn't remember. she does remember. the real issue here is that this issue of the e-mails, i think, has officially been put to bed and put aside as it relates to the campaign. when the fbi director, a man who's above reproach, said there would be no further action, nothing would move forward, it has been put to bed. but yet we still see right-wing groups that have been trying to take down hillary clinton for decades continuing to push this issue, and now we see leaks from the republican congress put

innocent people don't need scapegoats such as general powell. charles: we talked about the october surprise. apparently the clinton camp was trying to make a november surprise. we'll get an idea of what these emails were about. this could have devastating consequences come november. >> particularly if it involves the state department and the clinton foundation. but she makes a great point about general colin powell saying don't scapegoat me over this email situation. you are trying to pin this on me a year you have a did all this stuff. you set up an entire server. all i had was an email. hillary clinton and her team used a disturbing pattern of serial dishonesty. charles: over the weekend colin powell give an interview to "people" magazine saying the clinton camp has been trying to pin the seem scandal on her. and he said the exchange he can recall happened more than a year after she set up her private server. he has nothing to do with this and he hopes his name stops coming up. hillary clinton has offered a lukewarm i messed up kind of thing.

powell from manchester, virginia.his was during the first session of the 42nd congress, and representative charles howell parter of have eer porte poul. he was a carpet bagger from new york state who had served in the union army, and he had settled in virginia affect war and became involved in state politics and when virginia re-admitted to the union, he ran for and won a seat that represented greater richmond. with porter's background, po powell's appointment seemed a purposeful and powerfully sym l symbolic act. on powell's first day a new york tribune correspondent watching from the galleries wrote, "that except for some practical jokes which have been put upon powell by some of the older pages, he got started very creditively." powell made $77.50 in his first month as a page. this was the going rate for his roughly 20 other page colleagues who worked on the house floor at congress. beyond that, we know only scant details about his circumstances. second, census records list his father as a wheel right and his mothe

gentleman powell has no recollection of the dinner conversation.former secretary clinton a memo describing the personal of e-mail account and how it vastly improved communications within the state department. at the time there was no system within the state department. he used a computer on his desk to manage classified information. he no longer has the e-mail, it may exist in state or fbi files." it's interesting but does it add anything to secretary clinton's e-mails? >> it's a view to the people criticizing her, i feel it's not an efficient response. to those really concerned about her usage of e-mails like she has to figure out a way that will communicate more clearly that she has apologized, she regrets it and move forward. some say she has already done it. >> we don't know colin powell told me to do it. it could have been anecdotal. it could have been mentioned aside and where did you get that idea any way? i don't think it's fair for us to characterize whether she blames colin powell, but with that -- >> true. but also why she an her campaig

powell's people say he didn't remember that conversation.hen secretary powell himself said reportedly clinton was using personal e-mail for an entire year before he ever told her about his own experiences. the feds last month said there was no evidence to support criminal charges against secretary clinton. katherine has the latest news out of washington and the thousands of clinton e-mails. >> that's right. this morning a federal judge ordered the state department to expedite its review of 14,900 e-mails covered by the fbi investigation. the nearly 15,000 e-mails were found by the bureau when they searched clinton's personal server. we also learned today there are at least six disks of data. the judicial group that brought the suit, the specific interests in the content of one of the disks, the u.s. district judge judge james blackburn ordered that the state department placed order of review on the 15,000 e-mails and the review has to be completed by september 22nd. >> mrs. clinton swore under penalty of emergency that all the records needed

she lied about the e-mail, colon powell, i saw that -- he was not happy. and it's, the whole thing is a scam with them. everything is a scam. like rifters. >> well, we've got you covered with reports and analysis on both campaigns. kristen welker is covering the clinton campaign in washington. we're going to start with her. walk us through this. this new news from the fbi. explain it to me. i thought the investigation was over. james comey clearly had aggressive words for hillary clinton, but it seemed like it was over and done with, now we're back? >> look, we're learning that we should point out that we knew that there were, as you said at the top, thousands of e-mails that have not been made public. so what are these e-mails? these are e-mails that have been deleted, that have been recovered, some of them were found on some of her colleagues e-mail servers. so the state department currently going through them, they make the point that look, some of these might be duplicates, some might be personal, so they are trying to determine what, if any, of these

i echo colin powell on this. it, they will know how absurd this is. colin powell and i are on exactly the same page. >> the "the new york times" reports this morning this clinton told the fbi it was colin powell who suggested she use a personal e-mail account. according to the paper that information is included among the notes that the bureau handed over to congress this week. and the story is also in the upcoming book at the 42nd president. he writes whereby quote, toward the end of the evening albright asked all of the former secretaries to offer one bit of council to the nation's next top diplomat. powell told her to use his own e-mail as he had done except for chass fi classified communications. the general has no recollection of that conversation. nbc news has been told what clinton told the fbi has been largely based on a memo powell e-mailed her. there is no mention in his memo of servers or home systems. >>> well lots of business news to get to this morning concerning uber and the end of gawker.com. a may

now, hillary clinton said colin powell okayed, he said it was okay, colin powell said it was okay tohe private server. is this part of the normal process. >> it's classic hillary clinton, it's let's deny the news and when it's shown to be a lie, we've had a series of lies in the e-mail server scandal then you pin the blame on somebody else and colin powell doesn't like this. they tried this with him in the springtime when the inspector general report came out and i think it's good to see colin powell pushing back. >> what are they going do now, there is this new report we just got into it about 30 minutes ago, it's from the ap, half the people who have meetings with hillary clinton as secretary of state have given money to the clinton foundation. >> actually, it's probably a little bit more than that because in a case of a classic ap bias they didn't include foreign government donors in that analysis. we've known for a while now thanks to judicial watch and peter swietser who wrote clinton cash and other organizations there was a link between the clinton foundation and hillary clinto

powell is the one who peed on the side of the gas station. [ applause ] yeah. yeah. it was him. but over the weekend, powell responded to the whole story and was not happy that he was being used as a scapegoat. >> powell is now hitting back telling "people magazine" that, "her people have been trying to pin it on me. the truth is she was using the private e-mail server for a year before i sent her a memo telling her what i did." >> seth: the craziest thing about that is that colin powell times" or the "wall street journal." he said it to "people magazine." [ light laughter ] was it for their sexiest diplomat alive issue? now the dust-up comes with powell after another batch of emails made public earlier this month suggested that officials of the clinton foundation may have used connections at the state department to obtain special access for clinton donors and friends. for example, in one of those emails, according to the "new york times", douglas j. band who the led the foundation's clinton global initiative passed along and cheryl mills, a request for a favor from an associate
