Today, the State Department released the final batch of emails from Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. While the State Department had planned to release all of the emails by January 29, they were granted an extension. The final batch of emails released today contained 3,800 pages, bringing the total up to over 52,000 pages. Of the emails turned over by Clinton, 2,100 were withheld for containing information that is now deemed classified. During the announcement today, the State Department also said that none of the emails Clinton sent or received on her private server were marked as classified at the time they were sent. This is something that has repeatedly asserted.

On several occasion, Clinton has said that she wants the emails available to the public in the interest of transparency. News organizations will release quotes from a few of her emails, but anyone can access all of Clinton’s emails. Since the release of the emails is part of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), all the emails are being posted to the State Department’s FOIA website. To access the emails, follow the steps below:

1. Go to http://foia.state.gov/Search
2. Type “F-2014-20439” in the Case Number field
3. Click on the arrow next to the “Posted Date” column header and select “Sort Descending” so that the recently released documents show first
4. Click the title of the document in the “Subject” field to open a PDF copy

Clinton Criticizes Trump in New Hampshire

On Tuesday evening, Hillary Clinton denounced Republican Donald Trump’s recent comments that as president he would ban Muslims from entering the United States. During a town hall event in Salem, New Hampshire, Clinton said his comments provide propaganda opportunities for ISIS and other extremists. She said, “We’re dealing with a party at danger of losing its way, of undermining the values that we have stood for. Go back and read what George Washington said about how we must resist bigotry. Read about what religious freedom means, how our Constitution enshrines it.”

During the event, Clinton covered a number of topics of her platform, but she focused on the impact of drug abuse. New Hampshire has been hit hard by substance abuse issues, and Clinton has held two town halls in the state focusing on substance abuse and the required treatment. Clinton will be back in New Hampshire in a few weeks for the next Democratic Debate being held on December 19. A full video from the event is below.

Today, Clinton has scheduled two town halls and a private fundraiser in Iowa. For all the latest, follow our Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
