Hillary Clinton and the State Department objected to a request to depose Clinton in a public records lawsuit on Tuesday, arguing that her testimony is not necessary in the case.
Judicial Watch, a government watchdog group that has been suing the State Department for records from Clinton’s tenure, asked a federal judge last week to allow its attorneys to depose Clinton. The group, which was granted discovery earlier this year, has been seeking to determine whether Clinton’s private email server was used to intentionally circumvent public records laws.
In a response filed with the court on Tuesday, Clinton’s attorneys called the request “futile” and argued that the former secretary of state has already publicly addressed questions about her use of a private email system.
