The controversy over Hillary Clinton’s emails is not going away.
The House Committee investigating the Benghazi terror attacks formally requested the all-but-declared presidential candidate to turn over her private email server to a third party in a letter to her lawyer Friday.
It’s the latest move in a three-week old controversy over Clinton’s exclusive use of a private email server while she served as secretary of state, which critics say ran afoul of federal record-keeping policy.

The committee, chaired by South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, asked Clinton to give her server to a “neutral, detached and independent third-party,” suggesting the State Department’s inspector general. “The Committee must have objective assurances it, and by extension the House of Representatives as a whole, has received all relevant information requests and necessary for a thorough investigation into what happened, during and after the attacks.”
The request is voluntary, but could set up a legal confrontation between House Republicans and Clinton if she does not comply. At a press conference at the United Nations last week, Clinton said unequivocally: “The server will remain private.”
