The State Department says it recovered about 30 emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server that may be related to the Benghazi attack in 2012.
State Department lawyers told U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta that the emails were not included in the 55,000 pages previously turned over by Clinton, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Before the emails are released, the State Department said it needs until the end of September to comb through the emails and redact any classified information.
Mehta urged the State Department to speed up the review and questioned the amount of time it would take to release the documents.
The hearing is part of a lawsuit filed by the conservative group Judicial Watch, which has sued the government for access to the records.
The discovery raises questions about whether Clinton lied when she maintained that she only deleted emails that weren’t related to her job as secretary of state.
