A federal judge ordered the State Department keep looking for emails Hillary Clinton wrote about the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, Politico reported. The State Department found 348 Benghazi-related messages or documents after searching through roughly 30,000 messages Clinton had sent on a personal email account during her her four-year tenure as secretary. U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta, however, ruled that, since the department had not searched its own official systems, it had not done enough to try to track down messages regarding the attack, which killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
