Court sets deadline for Clinton FBI emails

The Associated Press reported earlier this week that more than half of the meetings Clinton had with private individuals as secretary of state were with Clinton Foundation donors.

Lawyers for the State Department and Judicial Watch had been negotiating before U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of Washington, D.C., on a plan for the release of the emails in installments between September 30 and October 31.

Last week, however, the Federal Bureau of Investigation finally released notes from Hillary Clinton’s interview with Federal Bureau of Investigation agents to members of Congress.

Mr. Fitton called on the State Department “to stop stalling and begin releasing the 14,900 new Clinton emails”.

But another judge in Florida ruled on Thursday that the State must start releasing those emails by September 13, The Hill reported.

Trump, Aug. 23: “She said she turned over all of her work-related emails”.

The release is part of a Freedom of Information Act request, and the State Department has basically conceded it’s struggling to fulfill not just this request but FOIA requests of all kinds.

Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group lauded the judge’s decision and accused Clinton of trying to delete relevant work emails.

“It is unacceptable that the State Department is now refusing to release her official schedule before the election in full”.

Let’s recap what happened, beginning with Comey’s announcement on July 5 that the FBI had completed its investigation of Clinton’s use of personal email for government business while secretary of State.

The order is limited to documents related to the Benghazi attacks and the State Department notes that it’s possible that it may not find any relevant documents.

“We are not sure what additional materials the Justice Department may have located”, Clinton campaign spokesman, Brian Fallon, told the New York Times earlier this week.
