Republicans have also issued greater pressure on the scandal by subpoenaing three technology companies that were involved with her home server setup. The companies had not cooperated with the House’s investigation, resulting in the necessity of the legal action.

Rep. Lamar Smith said, “Companies providing services to Secretary Hillary Clinton’s private email account and server are not above the law. These companies have failed to comply with our committee’s request for documents and interviews that would provide information crucial to understanding Secretary Clinton’s private server and informing policy changes in how to prevent similar email arrangements in the future.”
Sen. Ron Johnson said, “The companies have direct and unique knowledge of her private server and email account. The information being sought is a crucial step in bringing greater transparency to Secretary Clinton’s ‘extreme careless’ – I would call it dangerously reckless and grossly negligent – email practices.”
The three companies are Platte River Networks in Denver Colorado, Datto Incorporated in Norwalk, Connecticut, and SECNAP Network Security Corporation in Boca Raton, Florida.
