Associated Press sues State Department for Hillary Clinton records

The Washington Post reports:

The Associated Press wants the e-mails that Hillary Rodham Clinton sent from a private account during her tenure as secretary of state. Today the wire service announced that it had filed a suit in D.C. federal court, seeking a range of e-mails and documents. Along with Freedom of Information Act requests filed by the AP, the lawsuit is pursuing “materials related to her public and private calendars, correspondence involving longtime aides likely to play key roles in her expected campaign for president, and Clinton-related emails about the Osama bin Laden raid and National Security Agency surveillance practices.”

The AP’s account of the suit quotes Karen Kaiser, the AP’s general counsel, as follows: “After careful deliberation and exhausting our other options, The Associated Press is taking the necessary legal steps to gain access to these important documents, which will shed light on actions by the State Department and former Secretary Clinton, a presumptive 2016 presidential candidate, during some of the most significant issues of our time.”

What's Hillary hiding.
