Media Advisory: Court Hearing on ‘Discovery’ in Clinton Email Issue

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today announced that District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan will hold a hearing on Judicial Watch’s motion for discovery on Tuesday, February 23, 2016.  In its motion, Judicial Watch argues that the State Department and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton deliberately thwarted the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for six years.  The developments come in a Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuit that seeks records about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Clinton.  The lawsuit was reopened because of revelations about Clinton’s separate email records (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)).

Date: Tuesday, February 23
Time: 10:00 am ET
Location: U.S. District Court
District of Columbia
Courtroom 24 A – 4th Floor
