At the request of the Republican published 296 emails Hillary Clinton. The former head of US diplomacy refers them to attack the country’s consulate in Benghazi in 2012. The attack killed four Americans.
Republicans believe that these emails may shed new light on how the then Secretary of State reacted to this attack. US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf issued a statement in which it stressed that the disclosed e-mails Clinton did not bring anything significant when it comes to the facts about those events.
In early March, the House of Representatives committee investigating the attack on US consulate Benghazi Clinton ordered the transfer of private e-mails from that period, which the congressmen could be crucial to their investigation. The attack killed four Americans, including US Ambassador to Libya. The reason for incidents became abusive toward Islam film produced in the US. The attack met with condemnation of the international community.
According to a statement issued by the committee, the call concerned not only Clinton, but also other people in the Department of State, “which may have important for the investigation material”. The thing is – as he explained to journalists the head of the committee, Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy – that neither Clintom nor her colleagues in the State Department did not destroy any correspondence.
The aftermath revealed by the “New York Times” information that Clinton, head of American diplomacy in 2009-2013, she used during this period his private e-mail account also on business, instead of relying on government address. What’s more – how informed the Associated Press – Clinton has used the mail Web server, registered at a private home in New York. She used hdr22@clintonemail.com address.
Republicans immediately accused Clinton, the favorite Democrat in the presidential election in 2016, of breaking the law and the principles of transparency that apply officials. American law requires the federal archives fact that all e-mails secretary of state should be sent from the official account, and then preserved in the archives, available for inspection by parliamentarians, historians and journalists, unless they contain state secrets.
“NYT” revealed that when the State Department asked the former head of diplomacy to forward e-mails, co Clinton made a review of its box. They have selected 50 thousand. pages of e-mails that they believe have business nature and have already been transferred to the archive.
According to Republicans who control Congress, but there is no guarantee that all corporate emails actually been transferred.
