Almost a year after the process began, the State Department has finally published all it can of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private emails. It released roughly 3,900 additional pages today.
Under a federal court order related to a public records lawsuit, the State Department has for the past 10 months steadily reviewed and released most of the 52,455 emails Clinton turned over to the department early last year. Those documents were requested of Clinton and other former secretaries in accordance with government archiving regulations.
That request, along with a congressional investigation into the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, led to a game-changing revelation last March: Clinton, unlike past cabinet secretaries, had established a private email server for her and two senior aides run out of the basement of her home in Chappaqua, New York. She used that private email domain throughout her tenure as secretary of state.
That news has dogged her campaign for the past year as voters and political rivals have raised questions about her honesty. Clinton eventually apologized for her decision to build a home-brewed server in an interview with ABC News, but has always maintained that she wants all of her email to be made public so people could see for themselves that she has nothing to hide.
