Gowdy wants Clinton’s email server
The South Carolinian who chairs the House committee investigating the Benghazi attacks has asked former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to turn over her personal email server to a “neutral, detached and independent” third party for “immediate inspection and review.”
Select Committee on Benghazi chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., sent a letter to Clinton attorney David Kendall on Thursday requesting Clinton turn over the server she used for official State Department business to the State Department’s inspector general or a neutral third party for independent analysis of what records should be in the public domain.
Clinton and her staff have turned over about 55,000 pages of emails to the State Department for review. Clinton has said she wants the work-related material to become public but that thousands of personal messages have been deleted.
Gowdy, a former Spartanburg prosecutor, wants a more independent look at the material.
“Having a neutral, third-party arbiter such as the State Department IG do a forensic analysis and document review is an eminently fair and reasonable means to determine what should be made public. As I have said many times, we have no interest in Secretary Clinton’s personal emails, but the American people have a clear right to the public records from her time as secretary of state.”
