Reporter a trump spokeswoman said today roger ailes, the former chairman of the Fox News Channel has no former role with the campaign. Scott, this came amid credible reports ailes is advising trump on the three debates this fall with clinton. Pelley Major Garrett reporting. Major, thank you. Today, the f. B. I. Gave a republicancontrolled Congressional Committee notes from its investigation of Hillary Clintons private email servers. The f. B. I. Has said that a few of the emails on the unsecured servers contained classified information. Republicans say they want ton why the f. B. I. Did not recommend criminal charges. Nancy cordes is covering the campaign. Reporter as clinton campaigned in philadelphia today, f. B. I. Agents were handing lawmakers material they classified as secret with the expectation it will not be disseminated or disclosed. Still, democrats worry the sensitive documents will be selectively leaked by republicans who still believe clinton should have faced prosecution. Just yesterday, they sent a letter to d. C. s u. S. Attorney outlining evidence of what they call perjury and false statements, by clinton when she testified about her email server last single email. Reporter clinton insisted her lawyers examined all 60,000 determine which ones were work related. F. B. I. Director james comey disputed that last month. The lawyers doing the sorting for secretary clinton in 2014 did not individually read the content of all of her emails. Reporter clinton herself didnt comment on todays move. But her aides said they would prefer that the f. B. I. Report be released to the public and not to partisan lawmakers adding, this is an extraordinarily rare step that was sought solely by republicans for the purposes of further secondguessing the career professionals at the f. B. I. Republicans are especially eager to get a look at the f. B. I. s notes on its interview with clinton to see if what she told agents differ differs from what she told congress. Theyre trying to bolster that perjury accusation, scott, which is the latest front in this ongoing battle. Pelley nancy corde i philadelphia. Nancy, thank you. In our special series, weve been hearing from experts about the Critical Issues that the next president will face the moment he or she takes the oath. Tonight, Margaret Brennan is with retired general and former c. I. A. Director david petraeus, talking about the dangers of iraq on day one. Reporter what concerns you the most about iraq right now . Iraqi politics. Well defeat the Islamic State. Thats going to happen. Its just a question of how long it takes. But its a rocky politics that have to become more inclusive if you cement the gains on the battle field. Reporter when the next president takes office, whats the bestcase scenario he or she will face in iraq . The bestcase scenario would be one in which the Islamic State has been defeated on the battlefield, and its terrorist cells have been reduced dramatically, and even the residual grill as and insurgents are on the run. Then most importantly, that sufficiently inclusive so that the sunni arabs of iraq once again feel a stake in the success of the new iraq, rather than in its failure. Reporter whats the worstcase scenario for the u. S. . The worstcase scenario for the u. S. Is if the situation goes seriously south for some reason and all of a sudden, we find ourselves having to really augment our forces and perhaps even get them more into the actual fighting to forestall the possibility of a collapse of iraq and perhaps the resumption of the kind of very near civil war that we saw back in 2006. Reporter how thin is that line between success and failure . Well, the line between success and failure is all about baghdad politics. Thats where this will play out. Reporter for the next president , will they have to speak to the American Public and talk about americans dying in combat in iraq once again . I fear that that proy the case, that future president s will have americans dying in places like iraq. This is really a generational struggle. Reporter heres why the candidates stand. Hillary clinton plans to strengthen the iraqi government, boost support to local forces fighting isis, and increase airstrikes. Donald trump has said hed bomb isis more, but has said contradictory things about ground forces. He said that hed send 20,000 to 30,000 forces if required, but also that the number is too high.

But next year, the company says it will offer Affordable Care act coverage in only four of those states, effectively pulling out of 70 of the counties where it offered coverage and leaving one arizona county near phoenix without any insurers offering obamacare. Aetna said it was a simple question of math. With obamacare enrollment numbers below projections, the Company Reported more than 430 million in losses since the Health Care Exchanges opened in january of 2014, in part because not enough Healthy People are signing up. Aetna is just the latest of the Major National Health Insurers to announce a pullback. United health care and humana unveiled major cuts. This is a red flag for the future of obamacare. Reporter larry levitt is with the Kaiser Family foundation. This next open Enrollment Period will be critical. If enrollment grows i think lot of the current concerns. Reporter an Administration Official said aetnas withdrawal does not change the fundamental fact that the obamacare marketplace will continue to bring quality coverage to millions of americans next year and every year after that. And another official said no county would be without Insurance Options when open enrollment starts later this fall. But the big concern for consumers here, scott, is choice, whether in some areas of the country people will have only one or two insurers to pick from. Pelley jan crawford in the washington newsroom.

It is a problem for some people. I have seen it. Reporter the price hike began in 2007, just after the drug maker mylan acquired the product, quickly making it a household name. It became a virtual monopoly for the drug maker after a competitor took a similar product off the market.
