Hillary Clinton has been accused of deleting all her emails while under subpoena . The allegation , leveled by a Republican chairman for a House committee on Benghazi , is the latest in a series of claims that are hammering the former First Lady 's reputation as 2016 approaches . In a letter released on Friday night , Rep Trey Gowdy , R-S.C. , said the former Secretary of State has failed to produce a single new document in recent weeks and has refused to relinquish her server to a third party for an independent review . Clinton 's attorney , David Kendall , rubbished the claims . Scroll down for video . The latest : Hillary Clinton ( left ) , a likely Democratic candidate for 2016 , wiped all her emails from her server while under subpoena , according to Benghazi committee chairman Trey Gowdy ( right ) on Friday night . Clinton , a likely Democratic presidential candidate , faced a Friday deadline to respond to a subpoena for emails and documents related to Libya , including the 2012 attacks in a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi that killed four Americans , including the U.S. ambassador to Libya . The Benghazi committee demanded further documents and access to the server after it was revealed that Clinton used a private email account and server during her tenure at State . House Speaker John Boehner has not ruled out a vote in the full House to force Clinton to turn over the server if she declines to make it available by Gowdy 's April 3 deadline . In a six-page letter released late on Friday , Kendall defended Clinton , saying she had turned over all work-related emails to the State Department . That included everything sent or received during her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 . 'The Department of State is therefore in possession of all Secretary Clinton 's work-related emails from the ( personal email ) account , ' Kendall wrote . Kendall also said it would be pointless for Clinton to turn over her server , even if legally authorized , since 'no emails ... reside on the server or on any backup systems associated with the server . ' Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland , the top Democrat on the Benghazi panel , said Kendall 's letter confirmed 'what we all knew : that Secretary Clinton already produced her official records to the State Department , that she did not keep her personal emails and that the Select Committee has already obtained her emails relating to the attacks in Benghazi . ' Dispute : The claims come as the former Secretary of State defends her use of a private email system . No take two ? Analysts warn the saga could have a devastating affect on Clinton 's approval ratings before the 2016 Presidential race , which could hamper her chances of a second White House stint with husband Bill . Cummings said it is time for Gowdy and other Republicans to stop what he called a 'political charade ' and instead make Clinton 's emails public . Gowdy also should schedule Clinton 's public testimony before the Benghazi panel as soon as possible , Cummings said . Kendall said in his letter that Clinton 's personal attorneys reviewed every email sent and received from her private email address — 62,320 emails in total — and identified all work-related emails . Those totaled 30,490 emails or approximately 55,000 pages . The material was provided to the State Department on December 5 , 2014 , and it is the agency 's discretion to release those emails after a review . Kendall said Clinton has asked for the release of all of those emails . He said the State Department is reviewing the material to decide whether any sensitive information needs to be protected . 'Secretary Clinton is not in a position to produce any of those emails to the committee in response to the subpoena without approval from the State Department , which could come only following a review process , ' Kendall wrote . Gowdy said he was disappointed at Clinton 's lack of cooperation . 'Not only was the secretary the sole arbiter of what was a public record , she also summarily decided to delete all emails from her server , ensuring no one could check behind her analysis in the public interest , ' he said . In a statement released later Friday , Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said she 'would like her emails made public as soon as possible and ... she 's ready and willing to come and appear herself for a hearing open to the American public .
