Hillary Clinton said during her interview with CNN Tuesday that she “never had a subpoena” when asked about the emails that she deleted from her servers, but House Republicans have said otherwise.
House Republicans released the subpoena they issued in early March for emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server, in response to Clinton’s outright lie that she had not been subpoenaed for the documents.Trey Gowdy, the GOP chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, said on Wednesday that he was breaking his own rule of not releasing the panel’s subpoenas in order to “correct the inaccuracy” of Clinton’s statement.
The subpoena was particularly suspicious of Clinton’s messages from 2011 and 2012 in connection to Libya and the attack on Benghazi.
“The committee immediately subpoenaed Clinton personally after learning the full extent of her unusual email arrangement with herself, and would have done so earlier if the State Department or Clinton had been forthcoming that State did not maintain custody of her records and only Secretary Clinton herself had her records when Congress first requested them.”
Here is the subpoena, courtesy of Speaker John Boehner:
