Contact: Jill Farrell, Judicial Watch, 202-646-5188
 
WASHINGTON, March 9, 2015 /Standard Newswire/ --  Judicial Watch announced today that it submitted six Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with the Department of State seeking information about Hillary Clinton's and other State Department employees' uses of secret email accounts to conduct government business. Judicial Watch submitted the FOIA requests on Friday, March 6, 2015, seeking:
 
        Communications between employees of the U.S. Department of State and former Secretary Clinton and/or her representatives relating to emails sent or received by former Secretary Clinton on non- "state.gov" email addresses: from June 1, 2014, to the present.

        Records concerning the use of a non- "state.gov" email address by former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Including records concerning security, classification, preservation, and compliance with the Federal Records Act and/or the Freedom of Information Act: from January 20, 2009, to February 20, 2009.

        Records that identify the number and names of all current and former officials, officers, or employees of the State Department from January 20, 2009, to the present who used email addresses other than their assigned "state.gov" email addresses to conduct official State Department business.

        Records that identify the policies and/or procedures in place to ensure that emails that were sent or received by officials, officers, or employees of the U.S. Department of State who used email addresses other than "state.gov" email addresses to conduct official State Department business were searched for responsiveness to FOIA requests.

        Communications between employees of the Department of State and officials or employees of the White House and/or Executive Office of the President relating to the use of non- "state.gov" email addresses by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: from June 1, 2014, to the present.

        Communications between officials or employees of the Department of State and Members of Congress or Congressional staff, or Congressional Members or staff of the U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Benghazi relating to the use of non- "state.gov" email addresses by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: from June 1, 2014, to the present.
 
The State Department lawfully must provide these documents, or a justification for withholding them, to Judicial Watch within 20 working days, or be subject to federal lawsuits under FOIA.
 
These six new FOIA requests are in addition to requests filed last week directly seeking Mrs. Clinton's emails.
