"This latest find of Clinton records, at this late date, is astonishing," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton stated on Monday. "The State Department waited to last possible moment… to tell Judicial Watch and the federal courts about thousands of records that haven’t been searched, as the law requires."
Judicial Watch said the new documents appeared to be "working records" in an electronic format found on drives which the group identified in its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits on the 2012 crisis in Benghazi, Libya, when US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed by Islamic terrorists.
The watchdog’s latest findings come after the US Department of State released some 3,000 of Clinton’s emails before 2 am on Friday, which included some conversations from the 2012 terrorist attacks on the US diplomatic compound in Benghazi.
Judicial Watch said that the State Department has until February 1 to provide the watchdog with more information about the newly discovered records, but said the new records could be highly useful for the US Congress, and the FBI’s ongoing criminal investigation.
