Boehner: Clinton ‘not telling the truth’ on emails

Speaker John Boehner is accusing Hillary Clinton of lying in response to the email scandal surrounding her stint as secretary of State.

{mosads}”She’s not telling the truth,” the Ohio Republican said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” program, which aired Sunday. “She had an obligation to turn these emails over.”

Clinton last week defended her email practices atop the State Department, arguing that she had no legal obligation to turn over records but did so because the government already had them.

“I had one device. When I mailed anybody in the government, it would go into the government system,” she told CNN. “Now, I didn’t have to turn over anything. I chose to turn over 55,000 pages because I wanted to go above and beyond what was expected of me because I knew the vast majority of everything that was official already was in the State Department system.”

The GOP-led House Select Committee on Benghazi last week released a subpoena it said it issued to Clinton in March –– a subpoena Clinton denies she got.

“I’ve never had a subpoena,” she said.

Boehner said he’s weighing the further step of issuing another subpoena for Clinton’s email server, but also suggested that task is one for the State Department’s inspector general (IG), not Congress.

“I’m not going to rule in or out any of those options. I would hope we wouldn’t have to do that. She wants this investigation over, she wants … this all to be cleaned up. But the fact is it’s not going to be cleaned up until we get the emails,” he told CBS.

“I would hope they would turn them over or the State Department would go after the server. Congress doesn’t want the server,” he added. “The State Department IG is the appropriate group of people to go through these emails to make those determinations.”
