NOW will Hillary hold a press conference? (Spoiler: Probably not)

During Jim Comey’s damning statement on the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server, the FBI director revealed that the Bureau discovered “several thousand work-related emails” that Clinton did not disclose to the Department of State. Today, we are getting our first glimpse at the extent to which Hillary Clinton attempted to hide her work-related communications from voters.

The Washington Post reports that nearly 15,000 documents were discovered during the FBI’s investigation that Clinton had not previously disclosed, and a federal judge today ordered the Department of State to speed up its release of these emails to the public.

House Democrats have defended Hillary Clinton throughout the investigation, claiming that she never intentionally broke the law with her email server. Now that we know that Clinton lied when she told us she turned over all work-related emails from her time at the State Department, will House Democrats finally demand that Hillary hold a press conference to answer questions and tell the whole truth? Or will they continue to stand silently as Hillary Clinton misleads the American people.

NRCC Comment: “These 15,000 new emails prove, once again, that Hillary Clinton lied to the American people about her emails, as House Democrats vocally defended her. House Democrats should join Republicans in demanding that Hillary Clinton hold a press conference to answer outstanding questions about her email server instead of standing silently as she continues to mislead the American people.” – NRCC Spokesman Bob Salera
