Judge Orders Susan Rice Must Answer Questions on Benghazi as Part of Clinton Lawsuit
Susan Rice, the former United Nations ambassador and national security adviser to President Barack Obama, was ordered by a federal judge this week to answer written questions about the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, Libya, Fox News reported.
Rice, along with Ben Rhodes, her former deputy in the White House, was ordered to answer questions about the State Department’s response to the deadly attack.
Among other questions, the pair will be asked whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was deliberately evading Freedom of Information Act requirements for public records in her use of a private email server.
The questions being brought by the watchdog group Judicial Watch are part of an ongoing legal battle over the Hillary email scandal.
In a ruling released Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth denied the request by Judicial Watch that would have forced Rice and Rhodes to sit for depositions, opting to force them to submit written answers.
“In a major victory for accountability, Judge Lamberth today authorized Judicial Watch to take discovery on whether the Clinton email system evaded FOIA and whether the Benghazi scandal was one reason for keeping Mrs. Clinton’s email secret,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.
“Today, Judicial Watch issued document requests and other discovery to the State Department about the Clinton email scandal. Next up, we will begin questioning key witnesses under oath,” Fitton said.
BREAKING: A federal judge ruled that discovery can begin in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. Obama officials & Clinton aides — including Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes, Jacob Sullivan, & FBI official E.W. Priestap — have to answer JW’s questions under oath. (1/6)https://t.co/bADPHpI2PU

Was the Benghazi attack the worst scandal of the Obama White
Lamberth called Clinton’s use of a private email account “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency” and said the State and Justice Departments response “smacks of outrageous misconduct,” according to Fox.
Immediately after the Benghazi attack, Rice, who was the U.N. ambassador at the time, appeared on five Sunday news shows to claim it was a spontaneous outbreak of violence triggered by protests over an anti-Islam video.
Lamberth specifically cited Rice’s talking points in those appearances in his ruling.
