Judicial Watch Victory: Federal Court Orders Deposition of Hillary Clinton on Emails and Benghazi Attack Records

Judicial Watch today announced that U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth granted Judicial Watch's request to depose former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about her emails and Benghazi attack documents.

The court granted Judicial Watch's request to subpoena Google for relevant documents and records associated with Clinton's emails during her tenure at the State Department.

The ruling comes in Judicial Watch's lawsuit that seeks records concerning "Talking points or updates on the Benghazi attack" lawsuit led directly to the disclosure of the Clinton email system in 2015.

The court ruled that the Clinton email system was "One of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency." The State and Justice Departments continued to defend Clinton's and the agency's email conduct.

The Court has considered the numerous times in which Secretary Clinton said she could not recall or remember certain details in her prior interrogatory answers.

The Court agrees with Judicial Watch - it is time to hear directly from Secretary Clinton.

"Judicial Watch uncovered the Clinton email scandal and we're pleased that the court authorized us to depose Mrs. Clinton directly on her email conduct and how it impacted the people's 'right to know' under FOIA," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
