Hillary Clinton certifies all work-related emails have been turned over
Hillary Clinton certified that she had officially turned all of her work-related e-mails during her tenure as secretary of state into the State Department, according to a CNN report. The court also asked for a status report by this coming Wednesday as well as assurances from all three that they will not delete any federal documents they have. “It is of the utmost importance that all federal records in the possession of Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Abedin, and Ms. Mills be returned to Defendant to enable Defendant to conduct a search reasonably calculated to uncover all responsive records”.
Counselor and Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton, Cheryl Mills speaks in 2012.
The attorney for Cheryl Mills, the former chief of staff for the State Department, told the court “the review process is nearing completion” and that she expected to produce additional documents on Monday.
The move is the latest development in a freedom of information lawsuit by the conservative group Judicial Watch, but it will no doubt bleed over into the congressional investigation of the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, and the 2016 presidential election.
The Washington Examiner reported that Mills has been instructed by her attorney to “delete” the emails and any copies that exist.
In a lengthy statement and on her campaign website, Clinton detailed on Friday that she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, paid more than $43 million in federal taxes from 2007 to 2014, over $13 million in state taxes and donated nearly $15 million to charity over the same period.
A federal judge has ordered the State Department to ensure that all documents related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, be preserved.
Contrary to both Judge Sullivan’s order and the State Department’s request, Mills’ attorney said that she told Mills to destroy federal records in her possession on Monday, August 10.
While I do not know what information may be “responsive” for purposes of this law suit, I have directed that all my e-mails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or potentially were federal records to be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done.
The latter organization made an emergency filing to federal Judge Emmet G. Sullivan to stop further destruction of possible evidence.
“Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills are showing contempt for a federal court order”. The lawsuit was reopened last month because of revelations about Hillary Clinton’s email records. “We will be seeking appropriate relief with the court”.
