The FBI has turned over 7,000 new documents from Anthony Weiner’s computer to the State Department as part a disclosure ordered by a Judicial Watch investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, according to information shared during a federal court hearing Thursday.
Representatives for conservative watchdog Judicial Watch and the State Department confirmed in a Washington, D.C., court Thursday the documents found on the former Democratic New York representative’s property had been shared.
Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit asking for possible emails Weiner had received from ex-wife Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s former top aide.
The organization’s president, Tom Fitton, told Fox News later Thursday State officials will determine if the 7,000 documents are government or personal records and whether they can be shared with his group.
Last year, Weiner pleaded guilty to sexting with a 15-year-old girl. The initial investigation into the incident found Weiner’s child had been in the background of photos he sent to the girl and he had emails from his then-wife in his possession.
