CNN’s exclusive interview with Hillary Clinton, though carefully composed of the softest of softballs, was certain to produce at least a couple of controversial statements. No falsehood was more apparent than Clinton’s claim that “People should and do trust me,” but there were a few more false notes than that one.
CNN’s Jake Tapper reports that Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, for example, disputes Clinton’s claim that she’s “never had a subpoena.”
Clinton: "I've never had a subpoena."
Gowdy: "she was personally subpoenaed" the moment Benghazi Cmte learned of personal email/server— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 7, 2015
@jaketapper How was your colleague unaware of this? @NoahCRothman

@jaketapper of course she might've forgotten; but doesn't that implicate her post concussive health condition?

Keeping in mind that this is a Clinton we’re dealing with …
@jaketapper She's a liar. Nothing new here.

@jaketapper @redsteeze So Hillary actually lied? Shocked I tell you. Just shocked. Fine upstanding citizen like her? Impossible.

@jaketapper @redsteeze Maybe they sent subpoena via email and she deleted it on accident.

@jaketapper It was in the emails, you know, the ones that end up in the junk mail and get deleted along with the regular ones.

We might have a winner there.
@jaketapper It depends on what the meaning of the word "Subpoena" is is.
