State Dept. stonewalls emails tying Clinton to Benghazi talking points

An email chain in which Hillary Clinton and her top aides discussed controversial talking points was withheld from the House Select Committee on Benghazi by State Department officials, raising further questions about the agency’s cooperation with the congressional investigation.

The pair of undisclosed emails came to light in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the conservative nonprofit Judicial Watch after the State Department told the group it planned to withhold the records. The select committee confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the records had not been given to Congress.
