New documents refute Hillary Clinton’s secret email server timeline

Documents confirm Hillary Clinton was using her secret email server before the March 18 start date she previously claimed, and the State Department had access to some of the messages all along but didn’t notice, a conservative legal watchdog said Thursday.

Judicial Watch, which has filed a host of lawsuits to try to pry loose Mrs. Clinton’s emails, released a Feb. 13 exchange between Mrs. Clinton, the new secretary of state, and aide Cheryl Mills concerning Mrs. Clinton’s desire for a secure BlackBerry to handle classified email traffic. 

Last year, Mrs. Clinton indicated she started using her secret account on the clintonemail.com server she kept at her home in New York in March, two months after she was sworn in as secretary.

But the email discovery confirms reports last year that she was using the account before that date. She emailed David H. Petraeus, who was serving as CIA director, from her secret account that January.

The email released Thursday by Judicial Watch was sent to Ms. Mills at her official State Department address, meaning the department has had it in its possession all along — though it did not provide it to the conservative legal group until last week.
