VICE News routinely files FOIA lawsuits against the FBI for violating the law and failing to live up to its transparency obligations – including one ongoing case in which we asked for a wide range of documents the FBI recovered from Clinton’s private email server that the FBI has fought to avoid releasing.

The same poll found that Trump lead Clinton nationally by 2%, within the poll’s margin of error.

In his speech to the Union League of Philadelphia, he also contrasted his foreign policy vision with Clinton’s record, saying she is “trigger happy and very unstable”.

Chaffetz’s letter to the USA attorney for the District of Columbia, Channing Phillips, comes almost two months after the House committee similarly asked the same prosecutor to determine whether Clinton committed perjury and made false statements in testimony to congressional committees.
