Republicans threaten PERJURY probe of Hillary Clinton over congressional testimony that ‘nothing marked classified’ was on her email server as committee chairman grills FBI director
- Republican committee chair says Congress will send the FBI a criminal ‘referral’ charging perjury ‘in the next few hours’
- Clinton said in Benghazi hearing there was ‘nothing marked classified’ in emails she sent or received on her private server
- Hearing chair’s pledge suggested a new round of controversy for Clinton as she gears up to accept the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination
- FBI Director James Comey said when he announced decision not to recommend charges that 110 classified emails were found
The Republican chairman of a powerful congressional committee said Thursday that he will ask the FBI for a new criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s classified email scandal, focusing on the possibility that she perjured herself in sworn testimony to Congress.
Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, asked FBI Director James Comey whether he had cause to charge her for lying in a statement she made to Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan during a 2015 hearing on the 2012 Benghazi terror attack.
‘There was nothing marked classified on my emails, either sent or received,’ Clinton said at the time.
Comey said in a hearing Thursday that the FBI had not investigated whether that statement was true, despite finding three documents with classification markings among the messages on her private server.
