A conservative watchdog group is requesting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and several of her aides be called to testify in its lawsuit over her use of a private email server.

"Mrs. Clinton's testimony will help the courts determine whether her email practices thwarted the Freedom of Information Act," said Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president.

Judicial Watch initially filed the FOIA lawsuit in 2014 to get information about talking points given to then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice about the 2012 Benghazi attacks.

According to the group's website, it seeks testimony covering:
  • Searches of emails relating to the Benghazi attack and its aftermath, including preparation of Clinton's congressional testimony on January 23, 2013.
  • State Department policies for accounting for Clinton's records, including emails, before she left office.
  • The use of a private email system to conduct official State Department business by Clinton and her staff.
Besides Clinton, Judicial Watch also wants to secure testimony from staff members Cheryl Mills, Jacob Sullivan, Lauren Jiloty, Monica Hanley, Clarence Finney and other officials who can testify officially on behalf of the agency.
