U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has provided documentation of her email record between 2007-2013 to the House of Representatives for review, following a report from The New York Times claiming Clinton used a private email address throughout her tenure on the Obama Administration.

The early overview of the report is not looking good however, Republican Representative Trey Gowdy claims there are "huge gaps" in the email record, provided by the State Department.

These gaps include the 2012 attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, where Clinton was present and definitely had emails back-and-forth with several important members in the Obama Administration.

"We have no emails from that day. In fact we have no emails from that trip," said Gowdy, who heads the committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. "There are huge gaps."

The Benghazi attack killed three people, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Clinton has taken responsibility for the lack of security around the embassy, but the House of Representatives want more information on what Clinton knew at the time.

This email fiasco could be critical for Clinton's chances in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. Clinton is seen as a front-runner for the Democrats, following her defeat to Barack Obama in 2008.

Republicans are fighting for every small piece against Clinton to knock her down before the election starts, allowing one of their many candidates to push through. Republican candidates at the time outnumber Democrats by 4:1, showing the Republican confidence for 2016 after taking the majority seats in Congress.
