State Dept: We Have No Record of Hillary Clinton’s ‘Separation Form’
After he repeatedly pressed State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki on the whereabouts of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton‘s so-called “separation form,” Associated Press reporter Matt Lee finally got his answer: the State Department has no record of Clinton singing the form.
As Mediaite reported yesterday, the OF-109 form could give clues as to whether Clinton violated any laws while she exclusively used a personal email address. Employees leaving the State Department are required to sign the form, which says the employee turned over all official records before leaving. If Clinton signed the OF-109 form, some are saying she might have committed a felony given that she admitted to deleting 31,000 emails she deemed “personal.”
“We have reviewed Secretary Clinton’s official personnel file and administrative files, and do not have any record of her signing the OF-109,” Psaki read from a prepared response. “In addition, after looking into their official personnel files, we did not locate any record of either of her immediate predecessors signing this form. It is not clear that this form is used as part of a standard part of check-out across the federal government, or even at the State Department, so we’re certainly looking into that.”
Lee sought clarification, wondering if “having no record” of her signing the form means the document does not exist with her signature on it in her personnel file.
