A federal judge has ordered Hillary Clinton’s former information technology specialist to hand over the immunity deal he struck with the Justice Department.
Bryan Pagliano, who set up and maintained the private server in Clinton’s basement, was set to testify under oath Monday in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the conservative group Judicial Watch.
But his lawyers argued in Tuesday filings with the court that Pagliano would need to exercise his Fifth Amendment rights and decline questions in the case, which is seeking records from Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.
In an order entered Friday evening, Judge Emmet Sullivan of U.S. District Court asked Pagliano’s legal team to produce details of the immunity deal to him by Tuesday of next week.
Pagliano’s deposition was the third scheduled in a series of interviews with former Clinton staffers in an attempt to expose the reasoning behind Clinton’s unusual email arrangement.
