Judicial Watch vs DOJ/State on Hillary Benghazi email: Court Rules Trump State Dept Must Release Clinton Emails of Obama Response to Benghazi.  Despite legal pleadings from the Trump State Department, Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court for D.C., has ordered the department to release eight paragraphs from emails sent by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sept. 12, 2012 “regarding phone calls made by President Barack Obama to Egyptian and Libyan leaders immediately following the terrrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi,” reported Judicial Watch.  The emails may reveal what Secretary Clinton and President Obama knew about the Benghazi attack the day after it happened. Judicial Watch argues that there is a “deliberate effort by the State Department to protect Clinton and the agency by avoiding identifying emails on Clinton’s unofficial, non-secure email server as classified.” “Does President Trump know his State and Justice Departments are still trying to provide cover for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama?” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
