Clinton, who was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, had claimed she deleted only personal emails prior to returning more than 55,000 pages of her work-related messages to the State Department past year. They’re so boring. So we’ve already released, I don’t know, 30,000-plus, so what’s a few more. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, who chairs the Committee on Science, Space and Technology, is demanding documents by September 9 after the firms declined earlier this year to produce them voluntarily. The first disk, labeled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as containing non-classified emails not previously disclosed by Clinton, contains about 14,900 documents, Olson said.

The subpoenas target Platte River Networks, which provided information technology services for Clinton’s server; Datto Inc., which furnished immediate recovery of back-up data in the event the primary server failed; and SECNAP Network Security Corp., which carried out threat monitoring of the network connected to Clinton’s server.
Essentially, Clinton Foundation staff could get people meetings with the Clintons, specifically the secretary of state.
Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon reiterated Monday that Clinton provided all the work-related emails she had “in her possession” when the State Department asked for copies in 2014. GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump routinely criticizes Clinton for her handling of emails containing classified information.
In the email Ben Schwerin, a Clinton Foundation executive, wrote to Huma Abedin, Ms Clinton’s top aide, on behalf of charity financiers: “Bono wants to do a link-up with the International Space Station on every show during the tour this year”, he said. “Secretary Clinton’s responses are due by no later than thirty days thereafter”. One donor was the crown prince of Bahrain, who in late June 2009 failed to get an audience with Mrs. Clinton through normal diplomatic channels.
The Clinton Foundation no longer accepts contributions from foreigners and corporations and they have cancelled the annual Clinton Global Initiative, he said.
In her June deposition to JW, Abedin said part of her job at State was taking care of “Clinton family matters”.

In a statement, the government of Bahrain said the $32 million pledge was in support of a scholarship program for young men and women from the Persian Gulf kingdom who attend universities in Europe and North America. The objective of Salman’s 2009 visit with Secretary Clinton was wholly unrelated, according to the statement. The firms’ services were retained in 2013.
