New State Department Documents Reveal More Clinton-Abedin Email Exchanges of Classified Information on Unsecure Server
Emails Also Reveal Special Favor for Top Clinton Foundation Donor, Distribution of Clinton State Department Schedule to Foundation Staff
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31, 2016 /
Christian Newswire/ -- Judicial Watch today released
323 pages of new Department of State documents, including previously unreleased email exchanges in which Clinton and top aide Huma Abedin sent classified information over Clinton's clintonemail.com unsecure email system. According to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exemptions cited in the documents obtained by Judicial Watch, three of the Clinton-Abedin email exchanges contained material "classified to protect national security."
Also included in the newly obtained documents is an additional instance of the State Department doing special favors for a high-dollar Clinton Foundation donor. And the documents include instances of the distribution by State Department officials of Clinton's government schedule to members of the Clinton Foundation staff.
The documents contain not previously turned over to the State Department, bringing the known total to date of such emails uncovered by Judicial Watch to 238 new Clinton emails (not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over to the State Department). These records further appear to contradict statements by Clinton that, "
as far as she knew," all of her government emails were turned over to the State Department.
The new records include three separate Clinton-Abedin email exchanges withheld in part from Judicial Watch under the State Department's "B1" FOIA exemption, applying to "Information that is classified to protect national security":

Re: Latest/N. Ireland
After five hours of talk at Downing Street tonight, Thursday, October 8, Shaun Woodward tells me that it seems Gordon Brown has brokered a financial package with Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness that may in turn break the deadlock of devolution of policing and justice. They have covered the major issues in stage two in their discussions. On Monday, Brown will formally set out the details in a letter to Robinson and McGuinness. Gordon will share these with you when you meet with him on Sunday at Chequers. Shaun says that both Robinson and McGuinness, subject to some minor details, should be in a position to recommend to Unionists and Nationalists that this is a strong deal. The letter will confirm the details. [Redacted due to information "kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy;" "foreign relations or foreign activities of the US, including confidential sources"] I hope that's right.
