The State Department says about 30 emails involving the 2012 attack on United States compounds in Benghazi, Libya, are among the thousands of Hillary Clinton emails recovered during the Federal Bureau of Investigations recently closed investigation into her use of a private server.

Government lawyers told US District Court Judge Amit P Mehta on Tuesday that an undetermined number of the emails among the 30 were not included in the 55,000 pages previously provided by Clinton to the State Department.

The agency said it would need until the end of September to review the emails and redact potentially classified information before they are released.

The hearing was held in one of several lawsuits filed by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch, which has sued over access to government records involving the Democratic presidential nominee.

The State Department has said the FBI provided it with about 14,900 emails purported not to have been among those previously released. Clinton previously had said she withheld and deleted only personal emails not related to her duties as secretary of state.
