http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hillary-responds-to-judge-on-email-scandal/article/2569959Hillary Clinton confirmed under penalty of perjury that she turned over all her work-related emails on Dec. 5, 2014, and that her former deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, used an email account that was hosted on her private server.
"I have directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or potentially were federal records to be provided to the Department of State," Clinton wrote.
Clinton signed the sworn declaration Saturday after a federal judge demanded she and her aides provide more information about their email arrangement to the court.
While Abedin and Cheryl Mills, Clinton's former chief of staff, were both asked to submit similar declarations, neither aide has complied with the court order.
The declaration came weeks after the State Department admitted it had not received all of Clinton's work-related emails.
Sidney Blumenthal, an informal adviser to Clinton during her time as secretary of state, gave the House Select Committee on Benghazi dozens of emails the agency hadn't released in an earlier batch of Benghazi-related documents.
Blumenthal's disclosure forced State Department officials to admit that they had never seen all or part of 15 emails Blumenthal handed over to Congress.
The declaration, which State officials provided to a federal court Monday, means Clinton could face legal consequences if it was discovered she knowingly withheld work-related emails.
A federal judge ordered Clinton, Mills and Abedin to provide such assurances in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch in an effort to uncover documentation of a controversial employment status bestowed on Abedin, Clinton's deputy chief of staff, that allowed her to work simultaneously for the State Department, the Clinton Foundation and a consulting firm called Teneo Strategies.
Clinton's declaration fell short of the court order, which had also asked Clinton, Mills and Abedin to list any devices or servers that may contain documents responsive to the FOIA request and to describe the extent of their use of Clinton's private server.
To the latter end, Clinton noted only that "Mills did not have an account on clintonemail.com" and that "Abedin did have such an account which was used at times for government business."
