Court Orders State Department
to Search Clinton Advisers’ Benghazi Emails
Judicial Watch had a major court victory last week in our effort to get accountability in the Obama/Clinton Benghazi scandal.
Last week, D.C. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta ordered the State Department “to search the state.gov e-mail accounts of Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and Jacob Sullivan,” former aides of Hillary Clinton during her tenure as secretary of state. Judge Mehta ordered the State Department to search in those accounts “for records responsive to [Judicial Watch’s] March 4, 2015, FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] request.”
Of course, a JW FOIA lawsuit first broke open the Clinton email scandal – and Benghazi, too.
Judge Mehta, an Obama appointee, described our Clinton-Benghazi FOIA lawsuit as “a far cry from a typical FOIA case. Secretary Clinton used a private e-mail server, located in her home, to transmit and receive work-related communications during her tenure as Secretary of State.”
