The news that she used her private email while serving as secretary of state is raising questions about who had access to government information. Senior political reporter scott thuman is at the Capitol Hill Bureau with the latest developments on this story for us this evening. Hello, scott . Good evening, leon. You know, that email issue is heating up quite a bit and that question, was it wrong or more so, was it, perhaps, even illegal for then secretary of state Hillary Clinton using her personal email account, her personal server based at her house in new york to conduct business. Just a block here from the capital, that question is now being posed before a judge. Clintons emails have long been sought after by critics who question everything she did from discussions over israeli war plans to what happened surrounding the attack in benghazi. One of them has been using the freedom of information act to try to access some of those emails. Now, in light of this revelation, filed a suit asking a judge to seize clintons hard drive and release the contents. We talked with him today. Deserve answers as to whether their public servant, secretary of state and her assistants are hiding that documentation because that would be a criminal offense. Thats obstruction of justice. Thats exactly what Richard Nixon was accused of doing in watergate. Now, its important to point out here that the state Department Said clintons were not necessarily illegal and nor necessarily did they go against policy at that time. Theres a lot of gray area being looked into. Shes turned in over 55,000 documents that the state department is reviewing that she said is relevant. Thats not necessarily every email. Theres a lot to be figured out here. Clinton did respond only via a tweet in this matter tweeting out she wants the public to see all her emails. The state Department Says it will take months to what theyve been given access to and of course, her supporters will point out shes not the only politician that has done this. Well delve into that more coming up tone tonight at 6 00. You got it scott. Boy, everybody just about black and blue. White or gold . Black area. Well talk about the dress that went viral on social media last week. The Salvation Army is now using it to address the serious issue. Were laughing about it. But joce sterman is live in the newsroom to explain this powerful and somewhat controversial new campaign. Joce . The Salvation Army wants to use the social media buzz around the dress to direct attention of something much more serious. The physical pain endured by survivors of Domestic Violence. Now, this ad which was developed by the Salvation Army in south africa will not be used officially at least here stateside but its already spreading on social media. Using the concept of a model in that now famous white and gold dress. But shes covered with bruises. Not only handed out by an abuser. Why is it so hard to notice the black and blue given the stats about Domestic Violence. In this country they say 1 in 4 women is a survivor. The organization applauds a light being shined on this issue but they emphasize physical abuse is not the only form of Domestic Violence. That is the danger that we have to be careful of is that the survivors out there might think, well, i dont have bruises like that so mine isnt bad or maybe i dont really need to reach out and get help or maybe im not a victim of violence. But they say thats not the case. Were interested in your take on this ad campaign. We want to hear what you think. Weve posted the picture and asked the question on facebook.
