A security source close to the meeting between former President Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch in Phoenix said Clinton delayed his plane’s takeoff from Sky Harbor International Airport to meet the top law-enforcement official.
“Nobody knew this was coming,” the source told the New York Observer in an exclusive interview. The person, who works in Lynch’s security detail, wouldn’t reveal their name or gender.
“We just knew to be aware there were other events going on. There was no planned meeting. It was just chance contact,” the source told the Observer. “The fact is, he just started walking over. I don’t think it was pre-arranged. He just started walking over and [even her security] can’t tell him, ‘you can’t do that.’ He walked in her plane for at least 20 to 25 minutes and the FBI is standing face to face with the Secret Service and just chatting on the hot tarmac like, ‘what the hell.’”
