The Republican National Committee sued the U.S. State Department seeking the release of years of records and e-mails from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, her aides and associates.
The legal assault comes nine days after the State Department released the last of the more than 52,000 pages of messages stored on the former secretary of state’s private e-mail server. A judge ordered those released in a separate case -- one of more than a dozen lawsuits filed in relation to Clinton’s e-mails and use of the private server.
“Clinton’s actions while Secretary of State -- and the actions of those senior officials with whom she worked most closely and supervised -- are manifestly relevant to whether she is fit to lead this country,” the RNC said in the first of two complaints filed in Washington federal court Wednesday under the Freedom of Information Act.
The Clinton campaign didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment, while the Department of State declined to comment.
