State Department officials released 3,800 pages of Hillary Clinton’s private emails Monday, ending a months-long process of reviewing and redacting the former secretary of state’s records.
The pages made public Monday were among the most complicated records in Clinton’s collection, as each email required approval from at least one outside agency before the State Department could greenlight its release.
Officials argued in court earlier this month that the complex nature of the final batch of Clinton emails as well as a series of bureaucratic delays would require them to delay their release from Jan. 29, when they were initially slated to be published, until Feb. 29.
The State Department withheld one email between Clinton and President Obama and another at the request of an unspecified law enforcement agency, agency spokesman John Kirby said Monday.
