State Dept. due to release latest batch of Clinton emails
- 9 years ago
The latest batch of emails from the private server Hillary Clinton used as U.S. secretary of state is due to be released on Wednesday, days after she lamented that months of unflattering headlines about the setup were largely out of her control.
Criticism about Clinton's decision to set up an email account connected to a server in her New York home for her work as the nation's top diplomat have dogged her for more than six months, sometimes overshadowing her campaign to become the Democratic nominee for the November 2016 presidential election.
The contents of the emails released so far range from the quotidian business of an office job - in one exchange with an aide, Clinton struggles for several minutes to send a fax - to information the U.S. government says is classified, and redacted in the public copies, to protect national security.
