Republicans subpoena Hillary Clinton's emails on Benghazi

Clinton's tweeted statement came hours after a congressional committee investigating the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, issued subpoenas for her emails.

The US House of Representatives' Select Committee on Benghazi demanded all communications from Clinton related to the incident, in which a US ambassador was killed.

The panel also sent letters to Internet companies telling them to protect any documents relevant to the ongoing investigation, Jamal Ware, communications director for the Benghazi committee, said in a statement.

Representative Trey Gowdy, the Republican chairman of the Benghazi panel, told reporters that within two weeks, he must either have the documents or a "really good explanation" for why they may be delayed.

Republicans have been scrutinizing Clinton's actions and communications surrounding the Benghazi attack, when Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed during an assault on the U.S. consulate. Republican lawmakers believe she did not do enough to ensure the safety of Americans in Libya.

Representative Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the Benghazi committee, said the Republicans' actions have led him to believe they simply want to attack Clinton. He noted that Colin Powell, the secretary of state under former President George W. Bush, a Republican, had used personal emails.

The email controversy appeared to have caught the Clinton camp off guard when it erupted.

In an appearance in Washington on Tuesday night, Clinton avoided the topic altogether in a 30-minute speech at a gala dinner for the Emily's List political organisation.

The State Department has defended Clinton, saying that at the time there was no prohibition on using a personal email account for official business as long as it was preserved.

But experts have called her use of personal email highly unusual in an era when most U.S. government electronic emails are archived, and that her practise possibly left her communications open to hacking.

Benghazi House Committee Subpoenas Hillary Clinton Emails

World News Videos | US News VideosCopy

After news spread that Hillary Clinton relied exclusively on a personal email account while she served as secretary of state, the House Select Committee on Benghazi has sent subpoenas to the State Department today explicitly requesting all of her communications related to Libya.

The Select Committee on Benghazi today issued subpoenas for all communications of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton related to Libya and to the State Department for other individuals who have information pertinent to the investigation, Jamal Ware, communications director for the committee, wrote in a statement. The Committee also has issued preservation letters to internet firms informing them of their legal obligation to protect all relevant documents.

The documents are the latest request from Rep. Trey Gowdy, the chairman of the committee, as his investigation into the deadly attack continues.

You do not need a law degree to have an understanding of how troubling this is, Gowdy told reporters. There are chain of custody issues, there are preservation of materials and documents issues ... there are best evidence issues, in addition to asking about archives and what safeguards may have been in place to protect this information."

While Gowdy stressed that Clinton had more than one private email account that she used during her tenure at the State Department, her lawyer wrote the committee today hoping to clear up any misconception.

Secretary Clinton used one email account when corresponding with anyone, from Department officials to friends to family, Clintons attorney David E. Kendall wrote in an email to the committee. "A month after she left the Department, Gawker published her email address and so she changed the address on her account. At the time, the emails were provided to the Department last year this new address appeared on the copies as the sender, and not the address she used as Secretary. This address on the account did not exist until March 2103 [sic], after her tenure as Secretary.

Nevertheless, Ware maintained that the Select Committee on Benghazi is in possession of records with two separate and distinct email addresses used by former Secretary Clinton and dated during the time she was Secretary of State.

"Without access to the relevant electronic information and stored data on the server -- which was reportedly registered to her home -- there is no way the Committee, or anyone else, can fully explain why the Committee uncovered two email addresses, Ware said in a statement. As Chairman Gowdy has noted, this is why former Secretary Clintons exclusive use of personal emails to conduct official U.S. government business is so problematic and raises significant issues for transparency. The American people have a right to a full accounting of all the former Secretarys emails, and the Committee is committed to working to uncover all the facts.

Gowdy said the committee discovered the existence of Clintons personal email accounts after obtaining documents late last summer that had not been previously produced to any committee investigating the deadly terrorist attack.
