The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled Friday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton does not have to appear for a deposition in a case seeking emails tied to the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi.

The ruling came down in a years-old Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from the conservative group Judicial Watch, which alleges Clinton’s use of a private email server may have prevented certain emails from being included in the search for public records in their request.
