Hillary Clinton jumped into a public records lawsuit on Tuesday to try to avoid a deposition about a private email system she used while secretary of state that was at the center of a just-concluded criminal investigation.
Judicial Watch, a conservative legal watchdog group, has filed a motion arguing that it needs to depose the presumptive Democratic nominee for president to answer six questions. The legal group has been pursuing a lawsuit that seeks records from Clinton's email.

Hillary Clinton and her aides should have their security clearances suspended, Marco Rubio and nine other Republican senators said in a letter Thursday to Secretary of State John Kerry.
The letter comes after FBI Director James B. Comey said Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, and her deputies while she was secretary of state were "extremely careless in their handling of sensitive, highly classified information."

Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Wednesday accepted recommendations from the FBI and Justice Department prosecutors to not prosecute Hillary Clinton over the investigation of her personal email server while secretary of state.
"I received and accepted their unanimous recommendation that the thorough, year-long investigation be closed and that no charges be brought against any individuals within the scope of the investigation,” Lynch said in a statement after meeting with FBI Director James Comey and agency prosecutors.
