Clinton submits answers under penalty of perjury in email lawsuit
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Thursday submitted written answers under penalty of perjury in a lawsuit about her use of a private email server while secretary of State, Politico reported.
In the answers, submitted to conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, the Democratic nominee wrote 20 times she didn’t recall the information that was requested, according to Politico.
“Secretary Clinton states that she does not recall being advised, cautioned, or warned,” about her email server, lawyers for Clinton wrote.
“She does not recall that it was ever suggested to her, and she does not recall participating in any communication, conversation, or meeting in which it was discussed that her use of a clintonemail.com e-mail account to conduct official State Department business conflicted with or violated federal record keeping laws.”
On Monday, Clinton signed the legal filing “under penalty of perjury.”
A federal judge had ordered her to answer written questions in connection with a Freedom of Information Action lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch.
Lawyers for Judicial Watch had initially requested a live deposition to question the Democratic nominee.
