163 page Clinton email testimony can be summed up in the three words “I don't remember”. [PDF link]
>”"
Do you recall her specific e-mail address?
14 A I don't recall her specific e-mail
15 account. It has her initials in it, and
16 @Clintonemail.com.
17 Q Okay. Was that the only e-mail account
18 that she used during her time as Secretary of State,
19 for government business?
20 A So Secretary Clinton used — always used
21 one e-mail account when she was using an e-mail
22 account. So when she initially arrived she was
48
1 continuing to use the AT&T accounts, and then
2 transitioned to the dot Clinton e-mail, or
3 Clintonemail.com account. And during her tenure
4 those were the two addresses, if you will, that she
5 used.
6 Q Did she continue to use the BlackBerry.net
7 account throughout her tenure?
8 A So no.
9 Q Okay. When did she use that e-mail
10 account? And we're only speaking — I'm speaking
11 for government business.
12 A So I'm not aware of a BlackBerry.com
13 account.
14 Q Okay. What's the initial account she used
15 at the Senate that you said?
16 A AT&T.
17 Q AT&T. I apologize. So did she continue
18 to use that AT&T account throughout her tenure?
19 A No.
20 Q When did she stop using it, as far as you
21 know?
22 A My best recollection was sometime in
March. That's my best recollection.
2 Q Okay. Why do you recall it being in
3 March?
4 A So I recall that there was a point at
5 which she had to transition her e-mail address and
6 told everyone that she had a new e-mail address, and
7 that's the time period that I have the best
8 recollection around. It could have been — so I
9 might be wrong. It might have been February, it
10 might have been April. But I remember it being
11 after we had gotten in. So I might be wrong about
12 that. Correct me if I am.
13 Q How did — how did she communicate that to
14 you?
15 A I don't know that I have a specific
16 recollection of a communication as much as I have an
17 understanding that we needed to change the e-mail
18 address we were e-mailing her at.
19 Q Was there — was there an e-mail that went
20 out within the Secretary's office with respect to –
21 to the change?
22 A I don't remember that. There might have
50
1 been. So I could be wrong, but I don't remember
2 that.
3 Q Okay. How did the other staff in the
4 Secretary's office know about the e-mail transition?
5 A I don't know that I can speak to how
6 their — what their knowledge is. I can only speak
7 to mine.
8 Q Okay. Did you communicate that to — I
9 assume you had staff to help you out when — and
10 provide support when you were serving as chief of
11 staff and counselor. Did you?
12 A I did have staff.
13 Q Okay. And who was that?
14 A I had different administrative staff that
15 provided support.
16 Q Okay. And who were they? Within the
17 Secretary's office. Directly reporting to you
18 within the Secretary's office.
19 MS. WILKINSON: Objection as to form.
20 Perhaps you can make a time-period-specific
21 question.
22 Q Well, during this time in March, did you
have an assistant?
2 A So I don't recall the assistant's name at
3 that time, and I apologize. But she was someone who
4 had been provided by the department who was what we
5 call an OMS. And she provided support largely
6 through the first probably six, seven, eight months
7 that I was there. So I don't know that I can — but
8 I apologize, I don't remember her name. And not
9 because she didn't do a great job.
10 Q Did you communicate to her about the
11 Secretary's transition?
12 A I don't know that I did or didn't. Maybe
13 some context would help.
14 My office is connected to hers, so we
15 could just walk between the two offices. So I don't
16 know that it would have been as necessary for any of
17 the support staff. Because they — they are all
18 right in the same space.
19 Q Okay.
20 MS. COTCA: Could we mark this as Exhibit
21 2, please.
22 (Deposition Exhibit 2 marked for
52
1 identification and is attached to the transcript.)
2 MS. WILKINSON: Ms. Cotca, do you have
3 copies for –
4 MS. COTCA: Yes.
5 MS. WILKINSON: Thank you so much.
6 MS. COTCA: I don't know if I have it for
7 everyone.
8 MS. WILKINSON: We can share.
9 (A discussion was held off the record.)
10 MS. BERMAN: You said Exhibit 2.
11 MS. COTCA: Yes, this is Exhibit 2.
12 MS. WILKINSON: What was Exhibit 1?
