This might be something Trump can capitalize upon; I'm sure he'll try.
Snip:
Hillary Clinton is being sued by the parents of two Americans who were killed in the 2012 Benghazi attack.
The lawsuit alleges the former Secretary of State was directly responsible for the deaths of Sean Smith, a State Department communications specialist, and CIA contractor Tyrone Woods, two of four men who died on the night of September 11, 2012.
Smith's mother Patricia Smith and Woods' father Charles Woods are suing Clinton for wrongful death and negligence, but also for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The suit accuses Clinton of making defamatory statements to the media by saying the plaintiffs were lying when they said that she told them the attack was motivated by an anti-Muslim YouTube video.
In the complaint, Larry Klayman, an attorney for the families, wrote: 'During her campaign for President, Defendant Clinton has negligently, recklessly, and/or maliciously defamed Plaintiffs by either directly calling them liars, or by strongly implying that they are liars, in order to protect and enhance her public image and intimidate and emotionally harm and silence them not to speak up about the Benghazi attack on at least four separate occasions.'
The suit references the Democratic presidential nominees infamous email scandal multiple times, alleging that her 'reckless' use of a private server to handle classified information meant it was compromised.

-----------------------------------
None of the allegations are new; Patricia Smith has been all over the media condemning Hillary Clinton for years, and she did the same at the Republican Convention last month.
I don't think the suit will go anywhere given the men were working in a military capacity and the attempt to link the email server controversy to the deaths is really reaching.
But, it's sad for the families, Trump will definitely be all over it, and I think Clinton is going to have to address the allegations outside the courtroom.
