State Dept. To Release Biggest Batch of Clinton Emails Yet


Get ready for the controversy over Hillary Clinton's use of private email during her time as secretary of state to grow Monday.

The State Department is set to release more than 6,000 pages worth of Clinton emails, its largest batch yet, according to Politico.

For context, that's more than all seven Harry Potter books combined, or close to 10 read-throughs of "Moby Dick."

The batch reportedly includes emails that have been edited to remove classified information, the source of a lot of controversy.

While her initial reaction included dismissive jokes, Clinton's tone on the matter has shifted in recent weeks.

"My use of personal email was allowed by the State Department. It clearly wasn't the best choice," she said at an event last week, according to CNN. "I should have used two emails -- one personal, one for work -- and I take responsibility for that decision."

Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough has claimed Clinton's private server included two "top secret" emails.

The ongoing email saga hasn't helped voter trust in Clinton, which analysts point to as one of her campaign's biggest stumbling blocks so far. And it's gotten to the point where Clinton herself is admitting it's a problem.
