Fox News’ Catherine Herridge reported Thursday morning that the State Department ignored a request from the National Archives and Records Administration regarding Brian Pagliano’s “missing emails.”

WATCH:

Pagliano — the IT specialist behind Clinton’s private email server — “did not return his government emails” when he left the State Department in 2013.

Herridge stated that the Republican National Committee supplied her with a letter that the National Archives “wrote to the State Department on July 18,” giving “30 days to explain what happened to Pagliano’s missing records.”

“It’s determined Federal records have been alienated or destroyed, please describe all measures your agency has taken, or expects to take, to retrieve the alienated records or retrieve them, to the extent necessary and appropriate,” the letter reads.

According to the RNC, this is evidence the State Department “is clearly stonewalling another agency to cover up Clinton’s use of that private server.”
