Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina is riding high since she put up another strong debate performance on Wednesday, with a new poll showing her vaulting into second place in the GOP primary.
But she is set to face more scrutiny befitting her status in the top tier of the GOP primary race. One example was the grilling she took during an interview with Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."
Fiorina, who lost a Senate bid by 10 points to Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif, in 2010, was on the defensive about her record as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, where she oversaw a drop in stock at the company and layoffs of about 30,000 employees.
Wallace also asked Fiorina about a European subsidiary of HP that was investigated for selling hundreds of millions of dollars in computer equipment to Iran, in violation of international sanctions.
Fiorina has been in favor of keeping sanctions on Iran and against the Obama administration's deal that lifts sanctions in exchange for winding down Iran's nuclear program.
Fiorina shot back that HP was "larger than each of the 50 states."
"It is a larger budget than any one of our 50 states and a global enterprise. And so it's impossible to ensure that nothing wrong ever happens," she said, adding that the question is what you do when you find out about it.
Fiorina said that a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation proved that neither she nor anyone else in management knew about the subsidiary's sales in the Middle East.

“Fiorina said that a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation proved that neither she nor anyone else in management knew about the subsidiary’s sales in the Middle East.”
Sgt Shultz: “I know nothing...”
She found out about it when she was watching the news.
Ruh-roh.
Yes just like Obama she learns about her company by watching TV news! the numerals
No fan of FioRINO but as usual if you have an R by your name you get the usual intense media scrutiny.
Alien bobble head just needs to go away.
Does anyone think that if Trumpie has anything that the Iranian’s wanted that he wouldn’t sell it to them? Get real. After hearing him bash China a few years ago for selling us stuff cheap, I bought a Donald Trump shirt that was made in Bangladesh.
