The State Department released more than 7,000 pages of Hillary Clinton’s emails she kept on a private server Monday night, including 125 emails with redactions of now-classified information.
The 7,121 pages mostly contained routine emails concerning office life, but some concerned Clinton’s work with the Clinton Foundation, Haiti disaster relief after the 2010 earthquake, and concerns over sensitive information.
The emails add another chapter to the months-long saga over Clinton using a private email server for government business.
The State Department has been releasing the emails in batches after being reviewed for classified and sensitive information. The department has about 55,000 pages of emails to release.
This batch was the fourth round to be released. About 60 emails from the previous batches have been redacted for classified email, and another 305 emails had been flagged for further review, The Guardian noted. In total, 13,269 pages of Clinton’s emails have been released.
Among some of the standouts in the emails:
- Clinton’s back-and-forth with Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime Clinton adviser, over the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling
- Activities of the Clinton Foundation in Haiti after the earthquake and Chelsea Clinton’s analysis of the disaster-relief effort
- Concerns from Clinton and her staff over sensitive information transferred over email
So far, five intelligence agencies have “claimed ownership of classified intelligence that has surfaced” from the emails, according to the Washington Examiner.
Clinton has denied that she has knowingly sent or received any information marked as classified over her private server. To avoid breaking federal law, Clinton would need to be unaware that classified information was passed along or stored on the private server.
