President Obama only learned of Hillary Clinton's private email address use for official State Department business after a New York Times report, he told CBS News in an interview.
CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante asked Mr. Obama when he learned about her private email system after his Saturday appearance in Selma, Alabama.
"The same time everybody else learned it through news reports," the president told Plante.
Mr. Obama's comments follow a long week of media scrutiny surrounding Hillary Clinton's private email address and the "home-brewed" server that hosted it.
"The policy of my administration is to encourage transparency, which is why my emails, the BlackBerry I carry around, all those records are available and archived," Mr. Obama said. "I'm glad that Hillary's instructed that those emails about official business need to be disclosed."
Despite widespread criticism from Republicans who believe Clinton acted inappropriately, the president continued to defend his former Cabinet member's record.
"Let me just say that Hillary Clinton is and has been an outstanding public servant. She was a great secretary of state for me," Mr. Obama said.

She was a great secretary of state for me,” Mr. Obama said.
for him....certainly
Has he ever found out anything any other way?
See BS report with Blinders Full ON.
Their M.O. was to never put anything risky in an email. It's all done by text on Blackberries, and underlings are given oral instructions that then might be put into an email. This use of cutouts gives a layer of protection to the principals. That's my take.
“I just found out about it when you all did - in the news.”
I think he was shocked to learn that he’d hired Hillary as Secretary of State. Once the CNN host noted this....he asked if Hillary was till in charge and they let him know that some new guy had come onto the scene. He was baffled about this and asked if this was Biden, and they noted ‘no’....Kerry. Oh, was his response, and he asked if his golf reservation was till solid for Wednesday afternoon.
he does give the appearance of one...singularly focused on the trivial and useless doesnt he
B.S.
But Gowdy knew six months ago. He's a sly spy.
Possibly, if there’s a breaking alert on ESPN or his Xbox.
The old “read/saw it in the news” bullsh*t, again, huh?
What a dunce!
When anything else is more important than his daily intelligence briefing, he apparently is relying instead on CNN.
It will be fun when the hackers release emails between zero and the hildabeast, showing he had to be a total idiot (but we knew that already) not to see her email domain for four years.
Clown prince nobama continues his dishonesty. The fool “knows nothing”. We are all naive idiots.
Nobody ever questioned the email address not being .gov?
Several days ago, on this very site, someone said that obama’s MO is that whenever a story about someone else may damage him politically, he’ll just say he first heard about it on the news. The poster then went on to say that even though his people would have had to send emails to Hillary’s private email, he’d still probably claim that he first heard about this on the news.
And here we are. ;-)
He has become woefully predictable.
“The policy of my administration is to encourage transparency, which is why my emails, the BlackBerry I carry around, all those records are available and archived,” Mr. Obama(or whatever his real name is) said. ....... OK, when do we (the public) get to see them?
They’re effectively telling us that the SOS didn’t communicate with the president.
That’s pretty scandalous in itself.
