Former aide Justin Cooper said in a Judicial Watch deposition created on March 19 and made public on June 18 that he worked with Huma Abedin in 2009 to set up the unsecured private email account used by the former secretary of state to conduct official U.S. diplomatic business.
Abedin, one of Hillary Clinton's closest aides, was deputy chief of staff throughout Clinton's tenure as the United States' chief diplomat and continued with her during the Democratic candidate's unsuccessful presidential campaign in 2016.
Cooper, who was an adviser to President Bill Clinton, also said that a week before his deposition, he spoke with Cheryl Mills, the attorney who served as Hillary Clinton's chief of staff at the State Department and represented her legally during the FBI's investigation of the email server.
Mills accompanied Hillary Clinton when she was interviewed by the FBI. Mills is especially controversial because U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Royce Lamberth said in a related case that he "Was actually dumbfounded when I found out, in reading that report, that Cheryl Mills had been given immunity because I had myself found that Cheryl Mills had committed perjury and lied under oath in a published opinion I had issued in a Judicial Watch case, where I found her unworthy of belief, and I was quite shocked to find out she had been given immunity in, by the DOJ in the Hillary Clinton email case."
The report Lambert said he read was from DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz concerning the FBI's conduct of its investigation of the Clinton email system.
"The Court ORDERS the parties to meet and confer to plan discovery into whether Hillary Clinton's use of a private email while Secretary of State was an intentional attempt to evade FOIA; whether the State Department's attempts to settle this case in late 2014 and early 2015 amounted to bad faith; and whether State has adequately searched for records responsive to Judicial Watch's requests," Lamberth wrote in his opinion in the case.
Cooper told Judicial Watch in the deposition that he set up "Two or three" email accounts on the Clinton private system, and that he and Pagliano established accounts for the Clintons' daughter, Chelsea, and for Abedin.
