Judicial Watch<\/p>\n
(Washington, DC) \u2014 <\/strong>Judicial Watch today released 1,184 pages<\/a> of State Department records, including previously unreleased Hillary Clinton email exchanges, revealing additional instances of Abedin and Hillary Clinton sending classified information through unsecured email accounts and contributors being given special access to the former secretary of state.<\/p>\n The emails, were obtained in response to a\u00a0court order<\/a>\u00a0from a May 5, 2015,\u00a0Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0filed against the State Department after it failed to respond to a March 18 FOIA request (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(No. 1:15-cv-00684)). The lawsuit seeks:<\/p>\n The records contain 29 previously undisclosed<\/a> Clinton emails \u2013 of a total of which is now at least 288 emails that were not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over to the State Department. This further appears to contradict statements by Clinton that, \u201cas far as she knew<\/a>,\u201d all of her government emails were turned over to the State Department. Two of these emails are now available on the State Department\u2019s website.<\/p>\n In a February 2010<\/a> email exchange Jake Sullivan, then-Deputy Chief of Staff to Clinton, sent to Clinton\u2019s and Abedin\u2019s unsecure email accounts information that the State Department has classified as the material includes information \u201cto be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy; foreign relations or foreign activities of the US, including confidential sources.\u201d The redacted information concerns \u201cformer GTMO [Guantanamo] detainee Binyam Mohamed\u201d and Mohamed\u2019s request for \u201cvarious classified intelligence documents\u201d that contained U.S. intelligence information related to his detention before he was taken to Guantanamo.<\/p>\n In April 2010<\/a>, Sid Blumenthal sent two email memos to Clinton containing information now classified.\u00a0 Clinton forwarded this material to Abedin\u2019s unsecure email account. The classified information, which Clinton asks Abedin to print off for her, concerns the change of government in the Kyrgyz Republic.<\/p>\n In other emails<\/a>, Clinton\u2019s \u201cfinal\u201d schedules with specific details concerning her whereabouts were transmitted by Lona Valmoro to the unsecure emails accounts of Clinton Foundation officials Doug Band, Terry Krivnic Margaret Steenberg and others, and forwarded to Abedin\u2019s unsecure email<\/a> account.<\/p>\n In a March 15, 2010<\/a>, exchange, Band forwarded to Abedin a request for help from Philip Levine, who is presumably the mayor of Miami Beach.\u00a0 Reports said Levine had been a fundraiser<\/a> for the Clintons since the 1990s.<\/p>\n The newly obtained emails<\/a> also reveal some unsuccessful efforts to set up phone meetings for Clinton with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.<\/p>\n In a February 23, 2010<\/a>, email, ambassador and Clinton friend Capricia Marshall asked Band and Abedin to work with her to plan Bill and Hillary Clinton\u2019s funeral arrangements and notes: \u201conce affirmed it will be very hard for someone to deny the type of ceremony she [Hillary] wanted \u2013 as well I understand that the President can request certain arrangements for her that she\/her rep cannot (ie if you want the motorcade to go through DC \u2013 stop somewhere).\u201d<\/p>\n\n
