GOP files more lawsuits vs. Mrs. Clinton - total rises to 38

[Holly_Hobby]

WASHINGTON — The Republican Party filed a flurry of new lawsuits this week seeking reams of government documents related to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

The Republican National Committee filed four complaints on Monday in the U.S. District Court in Washington. The lawsuits stem from Freedom of Information Act requests the GOP filed last year. In court filings, the party says it has not received any documents in response to those requests.

...

The Republicans want all messages between 14 State Department officials and private email domains associated with Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, their daughter, Chelsea Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation. The GOP also wants communications between the State Department and officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development, which provides global humanitarian and development aid.

...

All told, there are now at least 38 civil suits pending in federal court over access to Clinton’s records, including one filed by The Associated Press.
