House panel to probe claims of Clinton perjury
Source: The Hill
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are planning to press officials from the FBI in a hearing scheduled for next month on allegations that Hillary Clinton committed perjury.
A GOP committee aide confirmed to The Hill that lawmakers intend to question the FBI about the lawmakers charges during an oversight hearing planned at some point in September. The move ups the ante for Republicans, who have pushed investigators to open a case into perjury charges against Clinton since the Justice Department announced last month that it would not indict the former secretary of State or her aides for mishandling classified information.
Earlier this week, Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) wrote to the U.S. attorney in Washington with detailed allegations of how Clinton appeared to have misspoken about key details of her email setup before the House Select Committee on Benghazi last October.
During a marathon appearance before that panel, Clinton made at least four concrete statements about her bespoke email arrangement that the FBI later proved to be false, the lawmakers claim. For instance, Clinton claimed at the time that none of the messages on her machine were marked as classified, though bureau Director James Comey later asserted that at least three bore some markings indicating they were sensitive.
