President Obama was asked about Hillary Clinton’s secret emails during his trip to Selma, Ala., Saturday and said he did not know his former secretary of state was using a secret account until he read it in the news. The president also noted he does not follow Clinton’s practice of secrecy.

“Mr. President, when did you first learn that Hillary Clinton used an email system outside the U.S. Government for official business while she was secretary of state?” asked CBS’s Bill Plante.
