Judicial Watch announced today it settled its 2014 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, which sought the emails of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding the Benghazi attack.
On March 2, 2020, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth authorized Judicial Watch to depose Clinton about her emails and the existence of relevant Benghazi attack documents.
"The Clinton email scandal uncovered by Judicial Watch's simple FOIA lawsuit changed the course of American history and led to Hillary Clinton's defeat in 2016," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
"Our historic lawsuit is now officially over and settled through a remarkable payment of $97,000 by the corrupt State Department. Hillary Clinton ignored the law but received special protection from both the courts and law enforcement. For countless Americans, this double standard of justice destroyed their confidence in the fair administration of justice. Americans would never have known about Hillary Clinton's classified email and related pay-for-play criminality but for Judicial Watch's diligence."
Justin Cooper, former aide to President Bill Clinton and Clinton Foundation employee who registered the domain name of the unsecure clintonemail.com server that Clinton used while serving as Secretary of State, testified he worked with Huma Abedin, Clinton's deputy chief of staff, to create the non-government email system.
Jacob "Jake" Sullivan, Clinton's senior advisor and deputy chief of staff when she was secretary of state, testified that both he and Clinton used her unsecure non-government email system to conduct official State Department business.
Eric Boswell, former assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security during Clinton's tenure as secretary of state, testified that Clinton was warned twice against using unsecure BlackBerry's and personal emails to transmit classified material.
