State Department upgrades 84 new Clinton emails to classified

Published



State Department officials upgraded 84 of Hillary Clinton’s private emails to various levels of classification when they published 551 emails under a federal judge’s orders on Saturday.

Most of the 84 emails were upgraded to “confidential,” the lowest level of classification. A handful were upgraded to “secret.” None were designated “top secret,” though the State Department upgraded as many as 29 emails to “top secret” when they missed a court-ordered deadline at the end of January.
