Congress has subpoenaed nearly a dozen State Department workers from Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state.
Rep. Trey Gowdy revealed emails of “close to a dozen” aides and possibly “aides to aides” have had their emails subpoenaed by the Benghazi Select Committee, as it continues its investigation into the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
“We sent a subpoena to the State Department for emails from a number of individuals within the State Department, other than Secretary Clinton,” Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican who chairs the committee, told Reuters in an interview Thursday.
After it was revealed that Clinton used a personal email address instead of a government one during her time in office, the committee’s investigation into the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya — which happened during her time as secretary of state — has picked back up with more intensity.
Clinton said in a press conference last week that she turned over all her government-related emails to the State Department, but she said she will not be turning over the private server she used to send any emails during her time with the State Department.
Before Clinton’s March 10 press conference, Gowdy told CBS’s “Face the Nation,” “There are gaps of months and months and months” in the emails her camp has turned over to the committee.
