Washington HillaryRodhamClintonwiped her email server "clean," permanently deleting all emails from it, the Republican chairman of a House of Representatives committee investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, said Friday.

Rep. Trey Gowdy said the former secretary of state has failed to produce a single new document in recent weeks and has refused to relinquish her server to a third party for an independent review, as Gowdy has requested.

Clinton, the presumptive frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, faced a Friday deadline to respond to a subpoena for emails and documents related to Libya, including the 2012 attacks in a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. The attention toClinton'suse of a private email account and server has threatened to become a distraction as she prepares to launch her campaign.

Clinton'sattorney, David Kendall, said Gowdy was looking in the wrong place.

In a six-page letter released late Friday, Kendall saidClintonhad turned over to the State Department all work-related emails sent or received during her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

"The Department of State is therefore in possession of all SecretaryClinton'swork-related emails from the (personal email) account," Kendall wrote.

Kendall also said it would be pointless forClintonto turn over her server, even if legally authorized, since "no emails ... reside on the server or on any backup systems associated with the server."

The Benghazi committee demanded further documents and access to the server after it was revealed thatClintonused a private email account and server during her tenure at State.

Gowdy said he will work with House leaders to consider options. Speaker John Boehner has not ruled out a vote in the full House to forceClintonto turn over the server if she declines to make it available by an April 3 deadline set by Gowdy.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the Benghazi panel, said Kendall's letter confirmed "what we all knew: that SecretaryClintonalready produced her official records to the State Department, that she did not keep her personal emails and that the Select Committee has already obtained her emails relating to the attacks in Benghazi."

Journalists, you have been warned: The HRC Super Volunteers know what you said about Hillary Clinton. And if they don't like it, they're going to call you out.

The group, a collection of Clinton die-hards, have launched a campaign to combat media sexism as the former Secretary of State contemplates a 2016 presidential bid.

Twitter users noticed the letter "M" on the cover appears to give Clinton a pair of horns, but it's not the first time this has happened. Gayle K...

"Super volunteers, help us find journalists smearing Hillary. We must push back against their sexism," the group said Friday on Twitter.

The volunteers are not connected to Clinton's political operation. "We're not at all attached to the campaign, not at all," John West, one of the group's founders, told the Washington Examiner on Thursday. "All we are is a Facebook group of Democrats. We met in 2007 and stayed connected afterwards."

They're already putting some journalists covering Clinton on notice -- and the list of words they deem off-limits is extensive.

"A group called HRC Super Volunteers just warned me 'We will be watching, reading, listening and protesting coded sexism,'" tweeted Amy Chozick, a reporter for the New York Times, on Wednesday. "Sexist words, they say, include 'polarizing, calculating, disingenuous, insincere, ambitious, inevitable, entitled, over confident'...Also sexist, according to HRC Super Volunteers: 'Secretive' and 'will do anything to win, represents the past, out of touch...'"

The email, according to Chozick, warned, "You are on notice that we will be watching, reading, listening and protesting coded sexism."

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- "Complicated" is how Hillary Clinton described her relationship with the political press corps at an event on Monday night.

The honest admission provided a rare glimpse into how the former secretary of state -- and frontrunner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination -- views the journalists who constantly follow her.

"I am aware some of you may be a little surprised to see me here tonight," Clinton said.

Clinton, who most recently held an adversarial press conference with throngs of reporters over her use of personal email as secretary of state, has a long, often antagonistic history with the national media.

When she was asked to headline an event with hundreds of political reporters, editors and executives, she recounted thinking, "What could possibly go wrong?"

"I am all about new beginnings," Clinton said at the Toner Prize event in Washington. "A new grandchild, another new hair style, a new email account, why not a new relationship with the press? So here goes, no more secrecy, no more zone of privacy. After all, what good did that do me?"

At the cozy event, Clinton hinted at her 2016 bid by noting that she has been "ruminating" lately.

Clinton has operated with the media almost exclusively on her terms for the last two years. At her paid speaking engagements and foundation events, the press is generally kept hundreds of feet away. During the 2014 midterm election -- and at times during Clinton's 2014 book tour -- media was sometimes close enough to ask a question, but the occurrences were rare.

Her press conference two weeks ago at the United Nations was the first time since September 2014 she gaggled with the cadre of reporters that have followed her for the better part of a year.

Hillary Clinton has a brand new book cover this time in living color.

The paperback version of Hard Choices, Clintons memoir about her years as Secretary of State, is due out April 28, and in it Clinton is sporting a whole new look.

Story Continued Below

The original cover a cold, black-and-white image of Clinton staring at the camera head on has been replaced with a slightly softer look. The new cover art shows off a bright, appealing photo of Clinton. The shot is tighter, and Clinton is angled away from the camera, turning her head and smiling slightly.

Shes dressed in a blue-collared shirt and wearing bold silver earrings.

The new photo was uploaded to the books Facebook page on Friday and was showing on Amazon.com for paperback pre-orders.

Hard Choices, released last June by publisher Simon & Schuster, was criticized for lackluster sales compared to the reported $14 million advance Clinton received for the book deal.

Clinton also faced criticism from Carly Fiorina, a former Republican Senate candidate in California and potential 2016 rival, over similarities between the books original cover and title and Fiorinas Tough Choices, released in 2006.

Hard Choices is currently ranked at #7,207 on Amazons bestseller list.
