New emails show Hillary Clinton welcomed a suggestion from Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime confidante, to set up a Clinton Global Initiative event involving her husband and elected officials from Northern Ireland while she was secretary of state.

The email, sent from Clinton’s private account in Aug. 2009, was among 46 pages of previously undisclosed emails that shed more light on the cozy relationship between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation during the former secretary of state’s tenure.
