The blood clot, which was in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear, led Clinton to spend a few days in New York-Presbyterian Hospital and take a month-long absence from the State Department for treatment. And the fact that top Clinton deputies like Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan, and Cheryl Mills haven’t turned over all their work-related emails – something revealed at the court hearing – is likely to add fuel to the Republican fire.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is healthy and “fit to serve” with no lingering effects from a 2012 concussion that caused a health scare when she was secretary of state, her personal physician said on Friday.
However, the inspectors general for the State Department and the intelligence community have identified five emails that contained classified information and were not appropriately marked. “This is really a question for the State Department, they are the ones that are bearing the responsibility to, you know, to sort through these thousands and thousands of emails and determine at what pace they can be released, and I hope it will be as quickly as possible”.
The Hillary Clinton campaign sent a almost 2,000-word letter to the executive editor of The New York Times this week expressing “grave concern” with a recent and controversial report relating to the former Secretary of State’s private email account.
“The campaign is going to lean into the fact that we are now going to be more transparent than Jeb” said a campaign official who joked that Friday is the day the Clinton campaign gets as much as they can out there.
Fox News also reported that a “source with knowledge of the release” said roughly 25 of the newly released emails contain text that has been redacted for “classified information reasons”.
The Benghazi email made public contained information from the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, a spy agency that maps and tracks satellite imagery, according to the official, who asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the matter.
He asked Federal Bureau of Investigation chief James Comey to secure it.
With this release, the campaign says 38 years of Clinton tax returns have been available to the press over the course of her career. “There is no classified material”.
“The IC IG found four emails containing classified IC-derived information in a limited sample of 40 emails of the 30,000 emails provided by former Secretary Clinton”.
The State Department has begun to release her emails in response to a public records lawsuit, though four of the emails containing classified information were among those that have not yet been released.
“As a general rule, private non-government individuals, even those maintaining a security clearance, are not authorized to privately store classified information”, Moss said.

On June 25, McCullough notified members of Congress that he understood that Clinton’s attorney, David Kendall, possessed the more than 30,000 Clinton emails on a computer thumb drive. An important distinction is that the IC IG did not make a criminal referral – it was a security referral made for counterintelligence purposes. Charles Grassley of Iowa expressed concern about “a compromise of national security information” because of Kendall’s possession of the thumb drive.
