Fitton: Email Revelations Raise Questions on Clinton Testimony

A Judicial Watch lawsuit has forced out a document from the State Department that shows a gap in former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails, organization President Tom Fitton said Tuesday, which raises questions about her testimony in court.

"She testified under penalty of perjury under court order that she directed all her records be turned over," Fitton told Fox News "America's Newsroom" host Bill Hemmer. "The State Department is telling their colleagues there is an email gap. We want disclosures."

The document shows that the State Department could not find any emails that were sent or recieved during the first five months of Clinton's term as Secretary of State, Fitton said. Even though it's possible that Clinton went offline to talk about certain topics, he admitted, "we were told all federal records were turned over."

Judicial Watch is seeking authority from the courts to go in and and ask for testimony and get Clinton's' documents, said Fitton, because questions about the issue pop up and "it's like whack-a-mole with the Clinton email scandal."

Meanwhile, Fitton told Newsmax TV's "Daily Wrap" program Monday that his organization will "believe it when we see it" if there are statements issued about the email, and questioned why the news has been known since April but not disclosed for months.

"They played games with us; they tried to stop the court proceedings from happening," said Fitton, also accusing Clinton of stealing the records, as they were federal accounts "she had no right to have."

"Anyone else who would have done this would have been hauled into court especially given the classified nature of the documents," said Fitton.

Fitton told Fox he believes Clinton withheld information from the courts, as "she has been cagey about what she told the courts and cagey about what she told the American people, when she said there was not classified information or material on her machine."

Further, said Fitton, "the administration pretends they got her emails; we don't believe they got all her emails."

Fitton said his group wants to make sure other emails are retained by the government and searched according to law, and if they have been deleted take steps to recover them.

"We are asking the court to issue a preservation order to make sure the alleged personal emails or government records turned over aren't destroyed by Mrs. Clinton," he told Hemmer.
