RNC sues State Department for Clinton records

Published March 9, 2016 4:22pm ET



The Republican National Committee has opened two new lawsuits against the State Department in pursuit of records written by top aides to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, less than two weeks after the agency released its final batch of Clinton emails.

“For too long the State Department has undermined the public and the media’s legitimate right to records under the Freedom of Information Act, and it’s time it complies with the law,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Wednesday. “If this administration claims to be the ‘most transparent in history,’ and Clinton the ‘most transparent person in public life,’ then they should prove it, release these records, and allow the American people to hold her accountable.”
