It turns out the Hillary Clinton email controversy has not ended yet. A judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has ruled to revive the efforts to recover the emails that were handled by the State Department during Clinton's term as President Obama's Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013.
According to Reuters, Judge Stephen Williams has turned a previous ruling by a lower court, with him insisting that the State Department and the National Archives should have made a greater effort to retrieve the emails. The lawsuit, which was filed by conservative groups Judicial Watch and Cause of Action, was a response to what they perceived as inefficient prosecution of the two government agencies due to the fact that the U.S. attorney general did not take enforcement action.
This latest development in the Hillary Clinton email controversy comes more than a month after she conceded her loss in the 2016 presidential election to the presumptive winner, Republican nominee Donald Trump. This was despite the fact that she had a decisive victory against Trump in the popular vote. According to NPR, her lead in the popular vote is more than 2 million, a number helped by the massive tally she got from Democratic bailiwicks like California, Oregon and New York.
Donald Trump and Mike Pence will be sworn in as the president and vice president on Friday, January 20, 2017. The Lawyer Herald will be posting more news and updates on Hillary Clinton and her email controversy in the coming weeks.
