Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton's running mate, says he and the former secretary of state will be 'real transparent' as an administration as a lesson learned from her email scandal.

Speaking to NBC's Chuck Todd on 'Meet the Press,' Kaine was asked what a Clinton-Kaine administration would look like in regards to transparency as the Democrat's email use continues to plague her campaign.

'I am not presumptuous enough to start thinking about how I'm going to do thing after November,' Clinton's vice presidential pick said.

'But I know that this is something that she's learned from, and we're going to be real transparent, absolutely,' he said, acknowledging Clinton's problems surrounding her use of a private email server.

Clinton, again, got herself ensnared by her emails when she told 'Fox News Sunday's' Chris Wallace last week that her 'answers were truthful,' adding 'what I've said is consistent with what I have told the American people.'

Clinton was referring to FBI Director James Comey's comments that she did not lie when questioned by the FBI.

Wallace, however, had asked the former secretary of state if she had told the American public the truth about her emails.

Comey said publicly that the FBI had found classified emails among those in Clinton's cache, earning the Democratic hopeful four Pinocchios from the Washington Post fact-checker for her statements on 'Fox News Sunday.'

Clinton came back to the subject Friday when answering questions at an event for the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, saying that she was pointing out 'that Director Comey had said that my answers in my FBI interview were truthful.'

'What I told the FBI, which he was was truthful, is consistent with what I have said publicly,' she continued.

'So I may have short-circuited, and for that, I will try to clarify because, I think Chris Wallace and I were probably talking past each other,' she added.

While the 'short-circuited' remark became the quote of the day, Kaine repeated the second part of that statement today on 'Meet the Press.'

Todd pointed out to Kaine that Clinton seemed to be conflating what she said to the FBI to the statements she had made to the American public.

'Can you conclude here whether or not Secretary Clinton lied to the American pubic about sending and receiving classified emails?' Todd asked.

Kaine did not answer it as a yes or no question.

'Chuck, let me just say this, I'm going to jump right to the punch line,' Kaine began. 'I have heard Hillary Clinton say over and over again when I've been sitting next to her and when I've watched on TV that, with respect to the emails, "I made a mistake, and I've learned something, and I wouldn't do it again." And I've heard her apologize.'

'I did hear that back and forth and I think Chris Wallace and Hillary were sort of talking past each other last week,' he added.

Kaine noted that Clinton was talking about how the FBI director had said she hadn't lied when speaking to the FBI, which wasn't the query Wallace had posed.
