Newly unearthed emails show Hillary Clinton lied under oath to the House Select Committee on Benghazi in her Oct. 22, 2015 sworn testimony.
As The Washington Examiner reports:
Emails sent the night of the attack indicate Clinton did indeed receive updates about the unfolding violence in Benghazi via her private, unsecured email network, contrary to her testimony in an Oct. 22 hearing before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
Clinton argued last month that she had conducted the majority of her work outside of email and that she had been receiving live updates about the attack in person, not on her private server. When describing her modes of communication she used on the night of the attack, Clinton cited secure phones and the SCIF, or sensitive compartmented information facility used for viewing classified material, in her home.
But Clinton defended the lack of Benghazi updates among her private emails by arguing that most of her communications did not take place over email.
Sidney Blumenthal, a divisive informal aide to Clinton during her time as secretary of state, warned Clinton to “publicly and directly puncture conspiracy fever on Benghazi before any closed hearing, in response to press question that you make yourself available to” in a Nov. 2012 email.
Clinton claimed in the select committee hearing last month that she was unaware at the time that most of the memos Blumenthal sent her were actually written by Tyler Drumheller, a former intelligence official. However, an email released Monday indicates Clinton received emails about Libya that were written by Drumheller himself, including one the day after the Benghazi attack.
The question now is, does Congress have the will to charge her with perjury?
