A federal judge said on May 4 that Hillary Clinton’s appearance in court “may be necessary” in a trial for the case of her private email server, clintonemail.com.

“Based on information learned during discovery, the deposition of Mrs. Clinton may be necessary,” court documents state. “If Plaintiff believes Mrs. Clinton’s testimony is required, it will request permission from the Court at the appropriate time.” 

Top Clinton officials may also need to appear, including Donald Reid, Huma Abedin, Stephen Mull, Cheryl Mills, Patrick Kennedy, Bryan Pagliano, and Lewis Lukens.
