A U.S. district judge in Florida has ordered the State Department to hand over by Sept. 13 any emails exchanged between then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama’s White House during the days of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in 2012.

Judge William Dimitrouleas of the U.S. District Court in southern Florida made his order in response to a request by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, which is suing the State Department for Clinton-era records under freedom of information laws.
