STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): This WikiLeaks thing has revealed, perhaps, the president of the United States lying on television when he told Bill Plante this about Hillary's private server.
[VIDEO BEGIN]
BILL PLANTE: When did you first learn that Hillary Clinton used an email system outside the U.S. government for official business while she was secretary of state?
PRES. BARACK OBAMA: At the same time everybody else learned it through news reports.

DOOCY: Here's where the president may have been caught in a lie. You know, he's got his devices and it shows who the e-mails are from. They were not from Hillary Clinton's personal -- rather, her State Department email. They were from something else. But he and she apparently exchanged 18 different email through her private server. So it seems that he would have known it was a private setup. And the president of the United States used a pseudonym, not his name, to conceal his identity. So why on Earth would he do that? What do you think? Did he know the email operation was at risk? We don’t know. He did exchange a number of email.
BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): Without getting into the play of play of it now, because you’ve got to do that on your own, and we only have so much time, just know this: There's a lot of tension seemingly between the Obama administration and the Clinton [campaign]. John Podesta at that time was with the Obama [campaign]. And you see a lot of them pointing fingers at each other, getting angry at each other, essentially saying “how could you allow her to get in this mess and why does she refuse to apologize for it?”
DOOCY: Right. So that's the White House being mad at the Hillary people. The Hillary people are mad at the president for going out on television and saying yeah, I heard about it on television. So how come we haven't seen the 18 emails? The conversation behind the scenes was, “if we say executive privilege, that's going to smell like Watergate.”
