The interviewed played out as follows:
Pelley: “You know, in ’76, Jimmy Carter famously said I will not lie to you.”
Clinton: “Well, I have to tell you I have tried in every way I know how literally from my years as a young lawyer all the way through my time as secretary of state to level with the American people.”
Pelley: “You talk about leveling with the American people. Have you always told the truth?”
Clinton: “I’ve always tried to. Always. Always.”
Pelley: “Some people are gonna call that wiggle room that you just gave yourself.”
Clinton: “Well, no, I’ve always tried”
Pelley: “I mean, Jimmy Carter said, “‘I will never lie to you.'”
Clinton: “Well, but, you know, you’re asking me to say, “Have I ever?” I don’t believe I ever have. I don’t believe I ever have. I don’t believe I ever will. I’m gonna do the best I can to level with the American people.”
