A pair of watchdog groups are asking a federal judge to force the government to recover the more than 30,000 emails Hillary Clinton deleted from her private email server in December 2014.

In documents filed with the court Monday, Cause of Action, a nonpartisan oversight group, and Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog, argued Clinton and her aides violated the Federal Records Act by selecting which emails they wanted to turn over and deleting the rest.

The effort to withhold thousands of records from the State Department and the National Archives prevented government officials from fulfilling Freedom of Information Act requests during and shortly after Clinton's diplomatic tenure.

Attorneys for Cause of Action and Judicial Watch asked the government to remedy the "unlawful removal, by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, of federal records from the custody of the United States Department of State."
