A key figure in the State Department’s Benghazi attack response team has become the central target in an email probe launched by House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.).

Issa on Thursday demanded that Victoria Nuland, the State Department’s former spokeswoman and current nominee to be assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, hand over every email she sent between Sept. 11, 2012 and Sept. 16, 2012.

Nuland played a key role in crafting the Obama administration’s response to the Benghazi, Libya attacks that killed four Americans. Congressional critics such as Issa believe that Nuland helped the White House obfuscate the true nature of the terrorist attacks in the days after it occurred.

While Nuland has released some emails sent during this period of time, Issa is demanding that she provide unredacted emails sent from both her official and private accounts.
