On Tuesday, Judicial Watch attorney Ramona Cotca told the court that the group had remaining questions over the handling of the emails. “The issue is identifying all sources where Clinton emails reside, and for the State Department to do an adequate search,” she said.
“The State Department now has every incentive to get to the bottom of this if you have any questions, if that’s the case,” Pillard replied. “This is no longer Secretary Clinton’s State Department, this is the Trump State Department.”
“It doesn’t matter who the administration is, but the issue is,” Cotca began before Pillard cut her off. “It does in the sense of whether you think—from what I gather you’re saying is that there’s some kind of cover-up,” the judge said. “And so I’m just trying to understand why you think this is relevant under FOIA, the claim you brought.”
