GOP senator caught in Ukraine scandal wants to focus on Obama and Hillary emails

By Emily Singer
November 1, 2019

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) has given the National Archives until Nov. 14 to produce 'all' communications between the former president and secretary of state.

The 2016 election is three years in the rearview and multiple agencies have cleared Hillary Clinton and the State Department in the email saga that burdened her campaign.

Yet Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, is still intent on seeing Clinton's emails, specifically "all email communications" between Clinton and President Barack Obama, according to a letter he sent on Thursday to the archivist of the United States.

Johnson said he had previously sought all communications between Clinton and Obama "while she was located in the 'territory of a sophisticated adversary,'" but had been turned down by the Justice Department in January 2018. The DOJ at that time said it did not have the ability to produce such a message because it was not a "Department document."

"During the FBI's investigation of classified information on former Secretary Clinton's private email server, the FBI possessed and reviewed emails sent and received between Secretary Clinton and and President Obama," Johnson wrote on Thursday. "Specifically, on June 28, 2016, FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok communicated the following message to FBI Director James Comey's Chief of Staff, James Rybicki."
