Former State Department spokeswoman Nayyera Haq dodged repeated questions on Wednesday regarding Hillary Clinton’s inconsistencies while discussing her private email server.
Haq was at the State Department for some of the time that Clinton was secretary of state before going to work at the White House.
MSNBC’s Craig Melvin played a video made by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which showed Clinton making statements about her private server that are then contradicted by FBI Director James Comey.
"What do you make of those inconsistencies, and can you certainly see why so many people still find what she says about this email stuff, as complex as it is, they still find it somewhat unbelievable?" Melvin asked.
Haq tried dodge on the question and criticized the fact that Clinton’s emails are still being discussed.
"Well, I think we’re all finding it a little unbelievable that we’re having conversations a year later about very specific emails and their markings," Haq said. "I take that supposed inconsistency to be somebody who has been operating at a really high level and now has to be forced to remember things from two, three years ago."
Haq then went into the details of the classified computer system and said the FBI and Clinton campaign both agree that the classified information found on Clinton’s server was marked classified after it was transmitted. Comey has criticized this argument, saying that Clinton was "extremely careless" and not "sophisticated enough" to understand the classification system.
"What the public cares about is the narrative of trustworthiness and whether or not there was some collusion going on, and I think it’s Congress’ responsibility to make as much information public as possible and let the public decide," Haq said.
Members of Congress were given notes Tuesday from the FBI’s three-hour interview with Clinton. The notes cannot be released to the public, however.
