US Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy said that Hillary Clinton must turn the computer server she used during her tenure as US Secretary of State over to the Department’s inspector or to a neutral third party to enable independent analysis to be carried out.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Hillary Clinton must turn the computer server she used during her tenure as US Secretary of State over to the Department’s inspector or to a neutral third party to enable independent analysis to be carried out, US Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy said in a letter to Clinton’s attorney.

“I am formally requesting she turn the server over to the State Department’s inspector general or a mutually agreeable third party,” Gowdy said on Friday. “An independent analysis of the private server Secretary Clinton used for the official conduct of US government business is the best way to remove politics and personal consideration from the equation.”

Boehner Urges Clinton to Turn Over Email Server She Used at US State Dep't
Gowdy explained the Select Committee has no interest in Clinton’s personal emails, but the American people have a clear right to the public records from Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State.

The Select Committee used exhaustive efforts to acquire Clinton’s official communications regarding Libya during the inquiry into the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks, the letter said.

The letter also noted that by using her personal e-mail on a private server, Clinton could maintain exclusive control over her public record.

Gowdy had asked that the server be turned over to a retired US federal judge, an archivist or other inspector general at the very least to make public record determinations, and communicated his willingness to find a neutral party, according to media reports.

Gowdy has continuously pressed on the need for a complete set of Libya-related documents to aid in the expedition of the Select Committee’s inquiry, media reports showed.
