Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) systematically destroyed Hillary Clinton's credibility during Thursday's House GOP Oversight Committee hearing, after he asked FBI Director James Comey to weigh in on the truthfulness of a series of individual statements Clinton made regarding her emails.
In one exchange, Gowdy brought up Clinton's claim that she "used just one device." "Was that true?" Gowdy asked Comey. "She used multiple devices," Comey replied.
The hearing follows the Department of Justice's announcement Wednesday that it would follow the FBI's recommendation and not press criminal charges against Clinton for her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
