The Judge made the threat during a July 9th hearing regarding a FOIA case brought by Judicial Watch; he was trying to get the State Department to ensure that Clinton's aides did not erase records subject to the lawsuit before an upcoming legal deadline. At least three of those aids (Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan and Cheryl Mills) had their own email accounts on Clinton’s private server.
