Ratcliffe Questions FBI Director Comey on Clinton Investigation

Published | Video Starts at 03:58

If they were targets of our investigation, maybe we would have canceled the interview. But frankly, our focus was on the subject. The subject at that point was Hillary Clinton. All right, let me move on. According to the FBI's own documents, Paul Combetta was in his first interview on February 18, told FBI agents that he had no knowledge about the preservation order for the Clinton emails. Correct. I don't know the dates of that, but I'm sure It's in the 302. Okay. (03:58–04:10)

CLAIM

Asserts that Paul Combetta initially denied knowledge of the preservation order.
