WASHINGTON (AP) – House Republicans are keeping up their attacks on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails by calling for testimony the tech expert who set up her private server and representatives from the company that maintained the system.
Bryan Pagliano, a former information resource management adviser at the State Department, is scheduled to appear Tuesday at a hearing before the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Pagliano spoke previously to the FBI under immunity, telling the bureau there were no successful security breaches of the server. But he said he was aware of many failed login attempts that he described as “brute force attacks.”
Pagliano refused to answer questions last year before a House panel investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. His lawyers said at the time that Pagliano did not want to relinquish his rights under the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination.
Two officials from Platte River Networks also are scheduled to appear before the committee. In June 2013, after Clinton had left office, the server was moved from her Chappaqua, New York, home to a data center in northern New Jersey, where it was maintained by the Denver-based technology company.
