Hillary Rodham Clinton used a personal email account during her time as secretary of state, rather than a government-issued email address, potentially hampering efforts to archive official government documents required by law. Clinton’s office said nothing was illegal or improper about her use of the non-government account and that she believed her business emails to State Department and other .gov accounts would be archived in accordance with government rules. “Like secretaries of state before her, she used her own email account when engaging with any department officials,” Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said. “For government business, she emailed them on their department accounts, with every expectation they would be retained. When the department asked former secretaries last year for help ensuring their emails were in fact retained, we immediately said ‘yes.’” Read more http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2015/03/03/clinton-email/24303773/
Republicans issued subpoenas Wednesday for emails Hillary Clinton stored on her own server, as the name of a former aide surfaced as the person possibly linked to the unusual arrangement. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), who chairs the House Select Committee on Benghazi, which sent the subpoenas related to the 2012 attack on the consulate in Libya, said, “We’re gonna use whatever legal recourse we have to get the documents. Now we have to go to the source.” The committee also instructed certain technology companies to preserve any relevant documents in their possession. Clinton had her own computer server and private email that she used for official business while working as Secretary of State. The server was registered at the Clinton’s Chappaqua home under an apparent pseudonym, “Eric Hoteman.” Read more http://www.nydailynews.com/news/pol...llary-clinton-emails-server-article-1.2138037
