More Deleted Clinton Emails Released

165 pages.

6.28.2016

On Monday, more emails that Hillary Clinton failed to turn over to the State Department have surfaced from her time as Secretary of State. The new release includes 165 pages of emails.

The latest emails were released under court order by the State Department to the conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch. The batch includes 34 new emails Clinton exchanged through her private account with her deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin. The aide, who also had a private email account on Clinton's home server, later gave her copies to the government.

The emails were not among the 55,000 pages of work-related messages that Clinton turned over to the agency in response to public records lawsuits seeking copies of her official correspondence. They include a March 2009 message where the then-secretary of state discusses how her official records would be kept.

"I have just realized I have no idea how my papers are treated at State," Clinton wrote to Abedin and a second aide. "Who manages both my personal and official files? ... I think we need to get on this asap to be sure we know and design the system we want."

An audit last month by the State Department's Inspector General blasted Clinton for ignoring internal guidance for email use. An email from 2010 was released with audit showing Clinton and aide Huma Abedin discussing a government email account and Clinton expressed concern about "any risk of the personal being accessible."

Clinton spokesperson Brian Fallon did not respond to requests for a comment on the newly found emails. Last week, Fallon told the AP that Clinton had provided "all potentially work-related emails."

"Secretary Clinton had some emails with Huma that Huma did not have, and Huma had some emails with Secretary Clinton that Secretary Clinton did not have," Fallon said.

Clinton had deleted tens of thousands of emails before turning any over to the State Department.
