Obama revealed that he heard about Hillary Clinton's use of a private e-mail server to conduct official state department business, "the same time as everybody else." 

On his trip to Selma, Obama told CBS News, "I'm glad that Hillary's instructed that those emails about official business need to be disclosed."

The interviewer asked him about claiming to have the most transparent administration ever to which Obama readily interrupted with, "It's true."

Pres Obama said, I think the fact that she is going to be putting them forward will allow us to make sure that people have the information they need."

Reuters reports a State Department official told them the review is likely to take several months. A total of 55,000 documents have been turned over but Clinton and her aids controlled the process and there is no archive on government servers. 

From Fast and Furious, to the AP Spying Scandal, to the IRS scandal, here is a compilation of Obama and his press secretaries telling the media when they first heard about them.
