-- Ed Henry reports on HRC email status. Reports that at the State
Department yesterday, John Kirby was pressed on whether there would be more
emails released pertaining to Benghazi since there were none released thus
far which included communication between HRC and Chris Stevens. Shows clip
of Kirby saying that there may not be correspondence between the two in
specific groups of emails. Henry says there could be more Benghazi emails
in sections of HRC emails that have not yet been sorted by the State
Department. Mentions that HRC’s campaign has long dismissed the legitimacy
of the email controversy and shows *The Briefing *website’s section on
facts about the emails. Discusses the content of the website saying that it
argues in part that HRC was not lying when she said in her CNN interview
that she had never had a subpoena because she was not referring to the case
of Gowdy, but instead of the 2014 State Department request for her to
preserve official email. Republicans note that this does not explain why
Sid Blumenthal turned over some emails addressed to HRC that she herself
did not turn over. Shows quote from democrats on the review panel saying,
“it appears that much of the select committee’s work has been shelved while
Republicans pursue every possible attack against Secretary Clinton.”
Gowdy’s team responded that they would not still be investigating if HRC
hadn’t saved her emails on a private server. Special Report with Bret Baier

says many will say he’s doing it to help HRC’s campaign. Notes that one of
HRC’s first policy speeches on the campaign was about criminal justice.
Shows clip of HRC saying there is something profoundly wrong when African
American men are far more likely to be stopped and searched and sentenced
to longer prison terms and calling for an end to the era of mass
incarceration. Clarence Page says it’s become a bipartisan issue with both
parties wanting to make some moves on this issue and Obama, WJC and HRC are
on the right track. PoliticsNation

-- Commentary on release of Donald Trump’s financial information. Wolf
Blitzer notes that there are some discrepancies in the amount of wealth he
has said he has in the past. Notes that the fact that Trump is filing this
information shows that he is very much in the race. Gloria Borger comments
on the different ways in which candidates talk about their wealth. Said it
was a big problem for Mitt Romney and after HRC said that the Clintons were
dead broke upon leaving the White House, she had to back track and say they
were actually wealthier than most people. Borger says Trump is in no way
apologizing for his wealth. Idea is that his wealth equals success, and he
is running on the idea that he will bring that success to people. Situation

about their wealth. Notes how HRC said that the Clintons were dead broke
upon leaving the White House, she had to back track and say they were
actually wealthier than most Americans. Talks about Mitt Romney getting in
trouble for comments he made about his wealth. Borger says Trump is in no
way apologizing for his wealth. Idea is that his wealth equals success, and
he is running on the idea that he will bring that success to people. Says

hot button issues. Don Lemon says that it might in some way be appealing to

beholden to special interests. Van Jones weighs in and says he has an
abundance of financial wealth, but his intellectual capital is lacking. CNN
