First came the daily schedules from the former First Lady’s files with the release of 11,000 pages of material yesterday.
Today, a federal judge said he would allow Judicial Watch, the conservative watchdog group that sued to get the information, to question the National Archives about Hillary Clinton’s telephone logs.
U.S. District Judge James Robertson said Judicial Watch could question a representative of the Archives about how it decided to release the daily schedules before the 20,000 pages worth of telephone records.
A lawyer for the Justice Department, which represents the National Archives, which operates the Clinton Presidential Library, said there are hundreds of requests for the release of records.
“The Clinton Library now will have to answer questions under oath about how it is handling (or not handling) requests for the Clinton records. The American people deserve to know how and why these records are not being processed and released in accordance with the law,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “National Archives officials should get their act together and do their job, instead of complaining of how much work they have to do.”
