Representative Lamar Smith (R), the chair of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, and Senator Ron Johnson (R), the chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, jointly author a letter to Treve Suazo, the CEO of Platte River Networks (PRN). PRN is the company that managed Clinton’s private server from June 2013 until late 2015.
The letter notes that Johnson’s committee has been seeking to interview some PRN employees about the management and security of Clinton’s server since August 2015, while Smith’s has been asking to do the same since January 2016, but PRN has refused all interview requests.
The letter then asks again, specifically requesting to interview the following PRN employees:
- Treve Suazo
- Brent Allshouse
- David DeCamillis
- Paul Combetta
- Sam Hickler
- Bill Thornton
- Craig Papke
The letter requests a response by July 26, 2016. If PRN does not comply, the letter threatens the use of the “compulsory process.” (US Congress, 7/22/2016)
Apparently, PRN will still refuse to agree, because on August 22, 2016 these committees will issue subpoenas for the interviews.
