Portions of Clinton emails to be released

The US State Department has proposed releasing portions of 55,000 pages of emails from former secretary of state Hillary Clinton by next January.

The department made the proposal in a federal court filing, in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Vice News.

In the filing, department official John Hackett said that following a review of the emails, the department will post the releasable portions of the 55,000 pages on its website.
