The Republican National Committee has filed two lawsuits in an effort to force the State Department release records related to Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.
The RNC said in a statement Wednesday that the State Department "undermined the public and the media's legitimate right to records" under the Freedom of Information Act.
The records were previously requested from the State Department but said President Barack Obama's administration "failed to comply."
The State Department faces several dozen lawsuits demanding emails from Clinton and her top aides, who used accounts outside the State.gov system to conduct government business during her time in office.
State Department reviewers classified more than 2,000 emails, mostly at the lower "confidential" and "secret" levels.
Twenty-two emails were withheld entirely from publication on the grounds that they were "top secret."
