Ex-Aide to Hillary Clinton Testifies About Email Server
By ERIC LICHTBLAUMAY 18, 2016
WASHINGTON A former aide to Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state testified behind closed doors for two hours Wednesday in the first in a series of depositions that are likely to raise more questions about Mrs. Clintons use of a private email server just as she prepares for an election campaign against Donald J. Trump.
The former aide, Lewis A. Lukens, testified under oath about his knowledge of Mrs. Clintons private email system as part of a lawsuit brought against the State Department by a conservative legal advocacy group, Judicial Watch.
At least five other officials including two of Mrs. Clintons top aides at the State Department, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin are also scheduled to testify in the lawsuit over the next six weeks in what promises to be an unwelcome distraction for the Clinton campaign.
The last deposition is set for June 29 less than a month before the start of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, where Mrs. Clinton is widely expected to win her partys nomination for president over challenger Bernie Sanders.

What was the big topic of discussion yesterday, though? The NOT throwing of a chair, supposedly by a supporter of Sanders.
And before that, what was the big political news possibly affecting the primary?

It will be entertaining to see how (or if) CNN and MSNBC cover this.

campaign wants them to cover. Mitchell, Matthews, Maddow, et al.
