00:00Who won the 2020 election?
00:02You know, I'm not going to do this with you.
00:04Who won the 2020 election?
00:06I think I've answered the question.
00:07We can keep doing this.
00:08Mr. Clayton.
00:10And I've answered it.
00:10Who won the 2020 presidential election?
00:13I've answered it.
00:14You have an obligation to be honest and forthright with this committee, correct?
00:22Yes.
00:27And is it the case in the Juan Orlando Hernandez case that the president of the United States
00:36pardoned a man who had worked with the Sinaloa cartel to facilitate massive narco-trafficking
00:41into the United States?
00:43I don't remember the specifics of that case.
00:46He was convicted in your district.
00:47He was convicted.
00:48We convict a lot of people for a lot of drugs.
00:51Convicted of narco-trafficking, yes?
00:54I believe so.
00:55Know so at massive scale, yes?
00:57Well, you're telling me what I know.
00:58That's kind of...
01:00He was, I believe...
01:02Look, I'll take your word for it.
01:04He was a convicted narco-trafficker.
01:06Did the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, pardon a convicted narco-trafficker?
01:13I believe we just discussed that.
01:15The president provided a pardon, yes.
01:17Yes or no?
01:18Did the president of the United States pardon a convicted narco-trafficker?
01:23Yes.
01:24Who won the 2020 election?
01:27You know, I'm not going to do this with you.
01:31This is a job interview.
01:33We've established that you have an obligation...
01:36It's a pretty interesting job.
01:37...to be honest and forthright with the committee.
01:39Yes, you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee.
01:42Yes.
01:42Who won the 2020 election?
01:44Like I said, I'm not going to get into that with you.
01:46But you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee.
01:50Is anything that I just said not honest or forthright?
01:52Yes, you're not being honest or forthright.
01:55Who won the 2020 election?
01:56I think I've answered the question.
01:57We can keep doing this.
01:59Well, we're going to keep doing it because you're not being honest and forthright with the committee.
02:05It's a simple question, Mr. Clayton.
02:08And I've answered it.
02:09Who won the 2020 presidential election?
02:12I've answered it.
02:14You're here asking for the support of senators to lead America's intelligence community.
02:20We have established that you have an obligation to be honest and forthright with this committee
02:25and with the American public.
02:27But you refuse to answer a simple matter of fact about the 2020 election.
02:31Is that right?
02:32No, that's not right.
02:33Then answer the question.
02:35Who won the 2020 election?
02:36I have answered the question.
02:37Answer it.
02:38What is your answer?
02:39I've given you my answer.
02:41What is your answer?
02:45You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election, but you ask
02:53to lead America's intelligence community?
02:55Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question, to have to indulge the president's
03:04delusions?
03:06We know, you know, everybody in this room knows the truthful answer to that question.
03:13Why can you not give it?
03:15I think I gave you the answer.
03:17Are you aware that Director Gabbard was present at the Fulton County raid in Georgia earlier
03:23this year?
03:26You discussed that with me yesterday in your office.
03:29Are you aware that Director Gabbard was present at the Fulton County raid earlier this year?
03:37You brought it to me, my attention yesterday.
03:38What is going on here?
03:39You've said at the beginning of this you have an obligation to be honest and forthright with
03:43the committee.
03:44I'm asking a very simple question.
03:45Are you aware that Director Gabbard was present at the Fulton County raid earlier this year?
03:49Yes or no?
03:49Are you aware?
03:50I was.
03:51You won't answer that question either.
03:52I just said I was made aware of it by you yesterday.
03:55The first time you learned that Director Gabbard was present at that raid was in my office
04:00yesterday?
04:00It was the first time that in my recollection I've thought about it recently.
04:04Now, was I aware of it before?
04:06What?
04:11You, I mean, you brought it to my attention yesterday.
04:15I had not thought.
04:15So you had not known until.
04:17I had not, I had not thought about it until you brought it to my attention yesterday.
04:20Your answers lack credibility.
04:21Your testimony lacks credibility.
04:23You're being evasive and you're not being candid or forthright.
04:26And everybody across the country is going to watch this and know that.
04:29Are you aware that former Director Gabbard testified that her presence at the raid was, quote, requested
04:35by the president?
04:41I'm not aware of that until now.
04:44Okay.
04:44You are now aware of that?
04:45Yeah.
04:46Are you aware that members of this committee are already probing Director Gabbard's potential
04:50misconduct in this matter?
04:54No, I don't, I'm not privy to your probe and to.
04:58Are you aware that the general counsel and deputy general counsel of your office have already
05:02provided testimony to this committee regarding this matter?
05:07No.
05:08If the White House chief of staff or the president asks you to travel somewhere across the United
05:13States and oversee the execution of a domestic search warrant on a sensitive election facility,
05:17will you do it, is that appropriate, is that appropriate for the Director of National
05:22Intelligence?
05:23That's a hypothetical.
05:25We all know it's not appropriate for the Director of National Intelligence, will you
05:28answer the question?
05:28Your time is expired.
05:30Will you give him the opportunity to answer the question?
05:33Is it, is this not material right now, sir?
05:36Is it appropriate for the Director of National Intelligence to oversee the execution of domestic
05:42search warrants at sensitive election facilities, yes or no?
05:46So, I think you're asking me, as you just said in your first comment to me.
05:51Yes or no, is it appropriate, no?
05:53You are asking me to comment on a matter that you just said was under investigation.
05:57No, I'm asking you.
05:57Okay, Senator Ossoff, your time is expired.
06:00Disqualified.
06:01Vice Chairman.
06:01Vice Chairman.
