Federal judge asks to see FBI search warrants used to access Hillary Clinton emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop and hints that he may unseal documents

  • Judge P. Kevin Castel asked a government lawyer to turn over the search warrants issued to access Clinton emails on Anthony Weiner's computer
  • E. Randol Schoenberg, a Los Angeles-based lawyer who specializes in recovering works of art stolen by the Nazis, sued to obtain any search warrant
  • Justice Department lawyer Jennie Kneedler told Castel that the government opposes Schoenberg's request
  • Weiner is still under investigation by federal authorities for online communications he had with a 15-year-old girl



Since losing to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, Clinton has blamed her loss in the presidential election in part on the FBI's decision to revive its examination of her email accounts after Comey in July chastised Clinton for her use of a private mail server but said the bureau would not recommend criminal charges.

Schoenberg's lawsuit called any search warrant and related materials "of the utmost public importance."

It added: 'Transparency and accountability are most important in cases such as this one, where the investigation in question is heavily politicized, dominated and continues to dominate national media and the national sphere of conversation, and may have significantly influenced the outcome of the election.'
