New emails published by The New York Times on Monday raise questions over Hillary Clinton’s claims that she only used one email account during her tenure as secretary of state.
The report shows that Clinton sent emails to deputy chief of staff Jake Sullivan on April 8, 2011, Jan. 5, 2012, and Aug. 28, 2012, from the address “hrod17@clintonemail.com.”
But as the Republican National Committee pointed out in a widely circulated memo, that email address is different than the now-infamous HDR22@clintonemail.com that Clinton was known to have used during her time at the State Department — which stretched from Jan. 21, 2009, to Feb. 1, 2013.
The apparent use of two email accounts undermines claims from Clinton’s office and her attorney, David Kendall, that the 2016 presidential candidate exclusively used the HDR22@clintonemail.com account.
“As explained in my March 4, 2015 e-mail to your Staff Director and certain others, “hrod17@clintonemail.com” is not an address that existed during Secretary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State,” Kendall wrote in a March 27 letter to Trey Gowdy, the chairman of the Benghazi Committee.
In December, Clinton and her team turned over 55,000 pages emails to the State Department. Of those, the agency turned 300 emails over to Gowdy’s committee.
