EXCLUSIVE: The Romanian hacker who says he easily breached Hillary Clinton’s personal email server also claimed, in a series of interviews with Fox News, that he spoke with the FBI at length on the plane when extradited from Romania to Virginia last month.
"They came after me, a guy from the FBI, from the State Department," 44-year-old Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker "Guccifer," told Fox News during a jailhouse phone interview. He said the conversation was "80 minutes ... recorded," and he took his own notes.
A government source confirmed that the hacker had a lot to say on the plane but provided no other details. Lazar was flown to the U.S. to face separate cyber-crime charges.
In addition to the apparent conversation with the FBI on the plane, Fox News has learned a meeting was expected as early as this week at the Alexandria, Va., detention center where he’s being held involving Guccifer, the FBI, the U.S. attorney and the defendant’s court-appointed lawyer.
These officials have not commented on his clams or detention.
An intelligence source close to the investigation, speaking with Fox News last month, questioned the timing of Lazar’s extradition to the U.S., coming amid the Clinton email probe. As for what was discussed on that plane, Lazar said he told a State Department representative on the plane about "hot" data, some of which was hidden in Google drives, and other data that was too sensitive and deleted. The hacker, who offered no proof for his claims, said cryptically that he could not say more.

This is a hero for exposing this. His other crimes, if any should be pardoned
There’s hope. .
If this guy hacked into Hillary’s server, can there be any doubt that the Russians, Chicoms, N. Koreans and who knows how many other hostile intelligence service, did the same thing?
The guy might want to hire a food tester.
And this criminal witch still walks our streets as free criminal sleaze.
The FBI just wanted to find out who else has seen the secret photos of Hillary and Huma
Can’t have the Russians or Chinese pulling any surprises if she’s President, can we?
Yep, there’s no doubt in my mind all of our adversaries have every word that went through that server.
How funny and instructive that Bucharest TAXI DRIVERS know more about US governance than US citizens.
How utterly revealing.
Smart guy to give jailhouse interviews. Anything to stay safe from Hellary wiping him out... with a cloth.
I heard a report that he said that when he went in there, he saw evidence of other hackers on the server.
Remember when the USA had cool villains, like Mussolini and Hitler?
Now the really dastardly “enemies” are rodeo clowns, plumbers and taxi drivers.
Really shows the type of country we’ve become.
On the Today show this morning they did a piece on this and claimed he is credited with exposing HRC’s use of private email and then spent the rest of the story discrediting his claims that he hacked into it.
Can you do one without the other?
I think Guccifer said there were 2 gigs of data in the cloud. We assume the FBI got access to it. Should have all of Clinton’s deleted emails, especially the ones she wanted No One to see about the Clinton Foundation/Global Initiative. Let’s hope this ends it and brings indictments.
Unknown is okay, super famous is ok.
It's when you're a growing but still somewhat arcane story that presents a very dangerous MIDDLE GROUND, like Mena pilot Barry Seale:
I am sure that included in the deleted emails were many criminal acts related to the Clinton Foundation.
But she was hacked before they were deleted which means she is definitely at risk for blackmail by our adversaries.
Not a good thing for the safety of the nation.
Yep, and then the vast majority of our elected leaders were more concerned about patriotism than personal gain, not near as much now.
Yes, and if that’s true she’s in a world of hurt and has to know it.
1. He said initially that he saved her emails to cloud and would cooperate with FBI at the proper time
2. He also hacked the Bush family accounts. Not sure we know which one yet
Information was on FR at the time of his arrest in native country
