WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – The Republican chairman of a U.S. House of Representatives committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks said yesterday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had failed to respond to the panel’s subpoena for documents in the case.
Representative Trey Gowdy said Clinton had not provided a single new document and her lawyer told the committee a server she used for emails while she was the top U.S. diplomat had been wiped clean.
“We learned today, from her attorney, Secretary Clinton unilaterally decided to wipe her server clean and permanently delete all emails from her personal server,” Gowdy, chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, said in a statement.
