US State Department releases last batch of Clinton emails

March 01, 2016 11:35

The US State Department has made public the final batch of emails taken from a private server which former secretary of state Hillary Clinton controversially used during her time in office.

Clinton will hope the release will quiet the furor over her decision to spurn a government email account, but federal investigators are still probing whether her home-brew set-up posed a risk to national security.

The email scandal has been seized upon by Clinton's Republican opponents and is one of the few major clouds still looming over her otherwise very promising campaign to become the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

State Department spokesman John Kirby said the final batch of roughly 3,800 pages of mails brought the sum total released to more than 52,000 vetted and in some cases partially redacted pages of official correspondence.
