An attorney who worked for the same firm representing Hillary Clinton in the legal battle over her private emails now oversees the State Department's handling of those same emails.
Catherine Duval, formerly of Williams & Connolly, departed the Internal Revenue Service last year for the State Department, where she assumed responsibility for the release of Clinton's emails and for the agency's production of documents to the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
Rep. Jim Jordan, a member of both the select committee and the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said he sees similarities between the IRS investigation and the Benghazi investigation.
"It's interesting that Kate Duval was at Williams & Connolly, and then went to the IRS, and when she was at the IRS, she was the chief counsel when the 422 backup tapes were destroyed," Jordan told the Washington Examiner, referring to Duval's involvement in an investigation into IRS targeting of conservatives.
