spent their money. as someone who was not the nominee at the time, do you feel that is an appropriate amount of power for hillary clinton to have been demanding of a party that had not yet nominated her? it s simply not true. the washington post reported last night that part of the discussion that the dnc had with both campaigns during the primary is if you raise enough money to cover the cost of the voter file, you ll have influence over the way the money is spent in the general election. that is what we did. we raised more money than we raised a lot of money. bernie sanders didn t raise any. again, that is fine. this is an agreechlt made with the dnc to both the sanders campaign and the clinton campaign. debbie wasserman schultz, former dnc said, sent out a statement in response to donna brazile and says, i m proud of the work our team did to support the democrats up and down the
neighborhood right now, telling people to evacuate. over there on palm beach, that is another area where they re trying to get people out of. the mandatory evacuation has been in place since this morning. they want people out of there now, they want people off the roads by tomorrow morning, jim. brian todd, it is that storm surge. that s the warning that keeps coming up. let s move north to the city of davie. democratic congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz joins me now. thanks so much. i know you have a lot on your plate now. we have a map showing where your district is. i know a lot of that is in mandatory evacuation areas. are you finding that people are heeding those calls? yes. for the most part we have folks who are really paying attention, listening to the instructions, following them. the folks in the mandatory evacuation zones, for the most part, we ve seen them actually leaving over the last couple of days, but it is a very important
we can expect a similar request. congresswoman wasserman schultz, thank you very much. it s going to pale in comparison, i m afraid. much more on hurricane irma coming up. the latest storm track just minutes away. please stay with us. i count on my dell small business advisor for tech advice. with one phone call, i get products that suit my needs and i get back to business.
the investigative front. there will be financial crimes that will be prosecuted criminally. i think that s just window dressing. what was he doing with this money? he has connections to a hezbollah-linked character in iraq. sending money to pakistan. i think there will be more than just the financial crimes on its face. in the house of representatives we have to investigate how our systems may have been compromised and it will require putting people in the chair. bill: he said a lot in that answer. let s back up and tell us where this story is now. where the story started and where it s gotten to now. congresswoman wasserman schultz. while she was a congresswoman employed at government expense an i.t. specialist in her office who was gathering information, as it turns out, and selling it to foreign nationals and foreign intelligence services. this is a felony.
probably doesn t want her testifying about it until after the trial. bill: desantis said how were our systems compromised? congress can ask this of mrs. wasserman schultz in an ethics investigation. she won t have to tell in public. i think desantis is right. he doesn t know how big the iceberg is or how deep it goes. bill: there could be others taking information either selling it or compromising the private work of members of congress. that s a big deal. we also don t know exactly what was sold and to whom it was sold and whether or not it contained classified materials. bill: meaning that any state actor or bad player could be involved. they would have a financial and political incentive to get that information. correct. look for an indictment soon to see if the government can flip this fellow. in return for a lesser sentence than the one he would normally
