Judge Demands Hillary Answer Questions About Her Emails… In Writing
Friday, a federal judge instructed Hillary Clinton to answer questions from a conservative watchdog group about her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state, reports Fox News.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan issued the order as part of a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch. The group had sought to question Clinton under oath and in person, but the judge ruled she would only have to answer questions in writing.
FBI Director James Comey announced last month that the agency would not seek criminal charges against Clinton after an investigation into her email use, although he concluded she been “extremely careless” in her handling of sensitive material.
Judicial Watch’s Director of Investigations Chris Farrell said that while they would have preferred to have Clinton answer questions in person, the decision represented a victory for the organization.
“Judicial Watch will get Clinton under oath regarding the set-up of her outlaw server – something no other person, organization or agency has been ableto do, to date,” said Farrell.
“We believe it is a victory for law and order to get Hillary Clinton under oath answering questions about the server setup and why she did it.”
Judge Sullivan said Judicial Watch must submit its questions to Clinton by Oct. 14. Clinton will have 30 days to respond. Judicial Watch has until mid-October to submit their questions to Clinton before she could delay her answers past the November election.
