Washington (CNN) The Republican National Committee filed suit against the State Department Wednesday, seeking the release of Hillary Clinton's emails from her time there citing a violation of the Freedom of Information Act.

Specifically, the RNC is looking for release of the emails of Clinton's aides.

The RNC claims in the suit that the State Department did not respond to a request for emails made in December and is seeking their release by July 1, 2016, before the Democratic Convention.
