Hillary Clinton's claim that the ''vast majority of my work emails went to government employees at their government addresses'' is being refuted now that emails from the former Secretary of State's private account reveal she at times communicated with top aides via their own personal accounts.

The New York Times reports that the revelation came after roughly 300 emails from Clinton's private account were turned over last month to a House committee investigating the Benghazi attacks. Federal government regulations require that classified documents be preserved in the government server for record-keeping purposes. The chairman of the committee investigating Benghazi, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) has formally requested that Clinton turn over her private server to an independent third party for thorough inspection.
