The Republican Party has filed a formal complaint with the D.C. bar seeking disciplinary measures against longtime Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills for allegedly having a 'conflict of interest' when representing Clinton during her FBI interview in connection with her emails scandal.
Mills has represented Clinton as she fielded questions from FBI investigators as well while also fielding questions from congressional staff and lawmakers about whether she mishandled classified information and broke record keeping laws with her private email server.
Mills was at the candidate's side when she met with FBI investigators in July, in keeping with that role.
But according to the RNC, she may have violated a rule of professional conduct against a lawyer taking 'other employment in connection with a matter which is the same as, or substantially related to, a matter in which the lawyer participated personally and substantially as a public officer or employee.'
