US State Dept publishes 6K more pages of Clinton emails

October 01, 2015 08:36

The US State Department has released on 6,300 additional pages of Hillary Rodham Clinton's emails, covering a period when US forces killed Osama bin Laden and the Arab Spring rocked American diplomacy.

The release is the latest in the agency's rolling production of emails chronicling Clinton's tenure as secretary of state and canvasses the major US foreign policy upheavals of 2011.

All of the messages were written by Clinton or sent by others to the private email account she used as America's top diplomat, a months-old revelation that continues to hamper her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Thirty-seven percent of Clinton's 30,000 work-related emails are now public. The State Department plans to release them all by January.

Clinton has faced increasing questions over whether her unusual email setup, which included a homebrew server at her New York home, amounted to a proper form of secrecy protection and records retention.

The emails themselves, many redacted heavily before public release, have provided no shocking disclosures thus far.

The former first lady and New York senator had maintained that nothing was classified in the correspondence, but the intelligence community has identified messages containing "top secret" information.
