Benghazi Committee Going after Clinton Emails

     The chairman of the House committee investigating Benghazi said Tuesday revelations that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used multiple personal email accounts to conduct government business are troubling.  House Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy said his committee knew that Clinton used personal email to conduct government business last summer, but only recently learned that she did not also use an official government account.  The committee, which is investigating the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans, plans to request the emails from Clinton and the email service providers she used, Gowdy said. He added that Clinton's use of personal email accounts makes it harder for the committee to gather the facts.
     This is related to AP Gov because it is involved with the actions of the government, specifically the Benghazi situation.  Also, Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State at the time which is involved with the different branches of the government.
     I believe that Hillary Clinton should give up her emails to help speed up the operation because I think she will eventually have to give them up.  It is important for the government to get these emails so that they can try and get to the bottom of this investigation.
