Hillary Clinton and her team have worked quickly to downplay a judge’s ruling Tuesday that will force her top aides to undergo questioning for their role in setting up the former secretary of state’s personal email network.
Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, blamed “right wing attacks” for the court order. Her spokesman, Nick Merrill, blamed the judge’s ruling on the conservative group that filed the lawsuit in question. Then, Clinton herself attempted to minimize the controversy by likening it to her testimony last October before the House Select Committee on Benghazi, which is unrelated to the case.
