State Department Releases 350 Clinton Emails

The State Department on Thursday released 350 more emails found during the FBI's probe of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server, The Hill reported.

The emails are a portion of the 15,000 the FBI uncovered, and 1,250 pages of the emails are "near duplicates" of emails that already have been released. Such "near duplicates" are forwarded emails Clinton turned over in 2014 and have already been released but have an extra phrase such as "Please print."

Clinton turned over 30,000 emails from the sever, but said she deleted 33,000 others that were personal and not related to State Department business. Republicans in Congress and GOP presidential nominee, hoping to defeat her for the Oval Office on Tuesday, have said she might have been trying to cover up something.

The emails released Thursday are part of an effort to comply with a judge's order to release as many of the emails as possible before Election Day following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch.

Another batch of emails are set to be released Friday.
