Hillary Clinton’s email controversy doesn’t seem to be settling down any time soon. The former presidential candidate saw her campaign repeatedly tarnished with accusations of dishonesty as a result of the ongoing issue with her emails. Nearly a year after Clinton lost the election, her email controversy is causing her a fresh headache. Paul F. Harris Jr., a county judge in Maryland, has ordered the state bar to open investigations into three lawyers who are believed to have deleted several thousands of Clinton’s emails between them.
This all started when Ty Clevenger, a New York City attorney, attempted to acquire files pertaining to Clinton’s email investigation from the FBI; he was denied access to them on the grounds that there wasn’t enough public interest in the case. He then filed a complaint, which eventually resulted in the three lawyers – Cheryl Mills,David E. Kendall and Heather Samuelson – being looked into on the grounds of ‘wrongdoing by destroying evidence’.
Harris seemed to support Clevenger’s case, stating that it ‘appears to have merit’. Conversely, Clevenger’s complaint has been deemed ‘frivolous’ by a lawyer for the bar counsel; nonetheless, Harris has insisted that the investigation will indeed be going ahead.
