The 14,900 documents referred to by Boasberg are believed to include emails that were not included among the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton previously turned over to the State Department after her use of a private email server and private email account became public previous year.

Last Tuesday, the F.B.I. consigned to Congress notes detailing a three-and-a-half-hour-long interview with Clinton that took place in early July, during which the Democratic nominee told investigators that Powell advised her to use a personal e-mail account during her tenure at State, according to The New York Times.
Clinton has said that she and Powell were in agreement on the use of private email by secretaries of state.
In a statement provided to The Associated Press, Powell said he emailed Clinton describing his use of a personal AOL account for unclassified messages while leading the State Department under President George W. Bush.
The Democratic presidential nominee reportedly told FBI investigators that Powell, another former secretary of State, recommended she use a private email account.
Colin Powell has accused Hillary Clinton of using him as a scapegoat for her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
Perjury is very hard to prove, but one thing has been clear for months now: Hillary Clinton can’t keep her story straight.
“We are pleased that this federal court ordered Hillary Clinton to provide written answers under oath to some key questions about her email scandal”, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement in response to Sullivan’s decision. Powell said, “It doesn’t bother me”. Instead, she sent and received all of her emails on her personal BlackBerry, which was hooked up to an email server housed at her home in NY. The second was in a 2009 e-mail exchange in which Clinton asked Powell about his e-mail practices.
Clinton is known to have used a private email while working as a Secretary of State, breaking the federal regulations regarding the official correspondence.
The State Department is reviewing almost 15,000 emails as part of a batch of previously undisclosed communications that emerged in the FBI’s yearlong investigation of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server while secretary of State.
Powell addressed the memo again in his conversation with People, emphasizing that Clinton had begun using her personal email before he suggested it.
Earlier this month, Judicial Watch released a fresh batch of newly uncovered Hillary Clinton emails, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

The group says the emails it has uncovered raise questions about the ties between Clinton and the family-run Clinton Foundation. More than 100 of those emails contained information that was classified when they were sent or received.
