John Boehner: House Speaker to Announce New Investigation into Hillary Clinton Emails
House Speaker John Boehner is expected to announce a new investigation into the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton email scandal, ABC News reports.
Clinton is accused of using a private email account to discuss government affairs while she was the sitting Secretary of State.
Since the allegations, a thorough investigation into her personal email account has taken place, although she admits that more than 30,000 emails were destroyed because they were personal.
"We went through a thorough process to identify all of my work-related emails and deliver them to the State Department," she said, adding that all other emails were sent for personal matters such as "yoga routines," "family vacations" and "planning Chelsea's wedding."
Clinton's team distributed a document detailing the process of going through her email account. Her team showed that her emails were read but did not make clear how many.
A spokesman for Clinton clarified that all of the emails were read and that the document was in addition to "reading them all."
Clinton's attorneys found 30,490 work-related emails and 31,830 personal emails.
On Tuesday, Clinton clarified that she deleted her personal emails because she "had no reason to save them."
"I thought using one device would be simpler, and obviously it hasn't worked out that way," she said, stating the reason why she used a personal email account to discuss work-related issues.
Democratic strategist James Carville said he suspected that Hillary Clinton "didn't want [Rep.] Louis Gohmert rifling through her emails," and added the controversy "amounts to nothing but a bunch of people flapping their jaws about nothing."
President Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett allegedly leaked details about the former Secretary of State's use of a private email address, New York Post reports.
Sources say Jarrett went through people outside the administration so that it would not be traced back to her and also ordered the State Department to investigate into Clinton's conduct at Foggy Bottom.
