In the motion, Judicial Watch argued that "there is reason to be concerned that the responsive records could be lost or destroyed." Judicial Watch pointed out that in June 2018, the DOJ's Inspector General stated, "We identified numerous instances in which Comey used a personal email account (a Gmail account) to conduct FBI business."
