Emails released by the State Department on Friday show that actor Ben Affleck had the direct email address of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. This is signficant because conservatives on the House Benghazi Committee have made it a point of contention that many of Clinton's State Department colleagues did not have her private email, but confidants and celebrities did. The exchange found in the latest email dump shows Affleck emailing the current Democratic presidential frontrunner about his non-profit charity aiming to develop economic and social progress for East Congo.
