WASHINGTON (AP) ― A federal judge is forcing the National Archives to undergo questioning by a conservative group seeking the release Hillary Rodham Clinton's telephone logs during her years as first lady.
The telephone logs cover 20,000 pages.
U.S. District Judge James Robertson has authorized a lawyer for the group Judicial Watch to explore in coming weeks why the archives processes some requests before others.
The archives will have to produce at least one witness to answer Judicial Watch's questions.
The Clinton presidential library has hundreds of pending requests for the release of records. On Wednesday, the archives disseminated more than 11,000 pages of Mrs. Clinton's daily calendars from her White House years.
Clinton's early job as health care policymaker gave way during the remainder of her years as first lady to a more traditional, restricted role, according to thousands of pages of calendars outlining her activities in the White House.
