House Benghazi committee to subpoena Clinton emails


A House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi embassy attack plans to subpoena Hillary Clinton's personal emails following the revelation that the former secretary of state exclusively used a private email account to conduct government business, according to The Washington Post.
"The American people have a right to a full accounting of all the former Secretary's emails, and the committee is committed to working to uncover all the facts," Jamal Ware, a spokesperson for the House Select Committee on Benghazi, said.
The committee plans to request all emails from Clintonemail.com concerning the attack, which left four Americans dead. A two-year investigation by the House Intelligence Committee cleared the Obama administration of wrongdoing in its handling of the attack.
