Benghazi Families, Dismisses Lawsuit,Hillary Clinton
Washington: A federal judge threw out a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton by the parents of two Americans killed in the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, ruling the former secretary of state didn't defame them when disputing allegations that she had lied.
The lawsuit also alleged the former Democratic presidential candidate's use of a private email server caused.
the death of their sons, Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods, because it exposed terrorists to sensitive information.
They claimed Clinton lied when she allegedly told them it was a YouTube video that prompted the consulate attack.
District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington wrote in a 29-page opinion released Friday.
Berman ruled the parents didn't sufficiently challenge that Clinton wasn't acting in her official capacity when she used the private server, and that the families didn't put forward appropriate claims that Clinton defamed them or put them in a false light.
One of the parents, Patricia Smith, gave an emotional speech during the 2016 Republican National Convention against Clinton.
Her son and Woods were killed in the September 2012 attack, along with CIA operative Glen Doherty and the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens.
Clinton's homebrew server bedeviled her campaign before it officially began, when The Associated Press first discovered its use.
