Dem Strategist Hangs Up on TV Host When Strongly Pressed on Hillary's 'Never Had a Subpoena' Claim

Longtime Democratic strategist and Hillary Clinton ally Lanny Davis abruptly ended an interview on NewsmaxTV Friday after host Steve Malzberg aggressively pressed him on the former secretary of state’s claim that she “never had a subpoena” related to her emails.

The interview started tense and never recovered.

“I hate to do this to you because you’ve usually been pretty civil and fair,” Davis began. “You said you were going to start with a question and answer, and you didn’t…Then what you did is play a clip of her answer, exactly what Trey Gowdy has done — and this is Steve Malzman at his worst.”

“Actually, it’s Malzberg, but that’s OK,” Malzberg replied.

Davis eventually addressed Clinton’s “never had a subpoena” comment, saying she was referring to a “moment in time when she had not turned over her emails to the State Department and there was no subpoena at that moment.”

Malzberg quickly pushed back, saying, “In other words, Lanny, it depends on the meaning of the word ‘is,’ right Lanny?”

Davis then indicated that the interview was “over” and it would be the “last time.” Seconds later, he hung up.

“This is pathetic,” Malzberg reacted.
