Hillary Clinton Denies Sending Classified Emails From Private Account
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US Department of State is expected to release some 4,400 pages of former secretary of state and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s emails amid growing controversy that she mishandled secret information on her private email account, US media reported ahead of the release.

The release of the new trove of Clinton emails comes after a US district judge rejected the State Department’s plan to release some 55,000 pages of Clinton’s emails in one large batch in January, but instead ordered the department to outline a schedule for releasing the emails on a rolling basis.

Friday’s email release will bring the total production of Clinton’s emails published to 15 percent, according to the Washington Examiner.

In May, the State Department released the first set of 296 Clinton emails, detailing how she handled the September 2012 terrorist attacks on the US diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, which killed US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others.

The emails revealed the State Department knew Ambassador Stevens’ life was in danger 18 months before the 2102 terrorist attacks. Additionally, the emails showed the US government misled the American public about the details of the attacks.

Clinton, who is a Democratic Party frontrunner in the 2016 presidential election, has been under fire over the mismanagement of her official emails since a New York Times story came to light in March. She is accused of using a private account to dodge transparency rules.
