Rep. Trey Gowdy Calls for Hillary Clinton to Turn over Email Server

US Congress(WASHINGTON) — Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, sent a letter Friday requesting that Hillary Clinton turn over her email server used for State Department business to an independent third-party for analysis to determine which records should be preserved in the public domain.

“Though Secretary Clinton alone is responsible for causing this issue, she alone does not get to determine its outcome,” the South Carolina Republican said in a press release. “That is why in the interest of transparency for the American people, I am formally requesting she turn the server over to the State Department’s inspector general or a mutually agreeable third party.”

Gowdy said that the committee has “no interest in Secretary Clinton’s personal emails, but the American people have a clear right to the public record from her time as secretary of State.”

Clinton has come under fire after if was revealed that she used her personal email address exclusively for State Department work. Clinton said at a news conference last week that she and her staff “went through a thorough process to identify all of my work-related emails and deliver them to the State Department,” she said, adding that all other emails were personal and pertained to matters such as “yoga routines,” “family vacations,” and “planning Chelsea’s wedding.”

Gowdy’s letter, addressed to Clinton’s attorney David Kendall, calls for the “immediate inspection and review” of her email server.

“The Committee must have objective assurances it, and by extension the House of Representatives as a whole, has received all relevant information requested and necessary for a thorough investigation into what happened before, during and after the attacks in Benghazi, Libya,” Gowdy writes.
