Hillary Clinton’s emails to be released for review

A judge ordered the US State Department to review for possible release 14,900 of Hillary Clinton’s emails and attachments that the FBI found when investigating her use of a private email server as secretary of state.

The judge also scheduled a September 23 hearing on when to release the emails, a deadline that raises the possibility some will become public before the November 8 presidential election between Ms Clinton and her Republican rival, Donald Trump.

Questions about her email practices as secretary of state have dogged Ms Clinton’s White House run and triggered an FBI probe that found she was “extremely careless” with sensitive information by using a private server but recommended against bringing charges.
