Only half of the detailed schedules have been released so far, according to the AP, which reported earlier this week that a majority of the private citizens with whom Clinton met or spoke by phone during her tenure had donated to the Clinton Foundation.

While most of the Clinton-email litigation has unfolded in multiple Washington, D.C., courtrooms, the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch also has been pressing a Freedom of Information Act case in a south Florida federal court.
Mr. Fitton called on the State Department “to stop stalling and begin releasing the 14,900 new Clinton emails”.
Aside from the court-ordered email review process, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told Fox News’ “The Kelly File” he has more documents and plans to release the emails before November.
Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the attacks in Benghazi.
The judge’s order came after the Federal Bureau of Investigation handed over 14,900 of Clinton’s emails and other documents it recovered.
The State Department said it was proceeding as quickly as it could.
Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon released a statement on Monday saying, “As we have always said, Hillary Clinton provided the State Department with all the work-related emails she had in her possession in 2014”.
The additional emails were part of the FBI’s investigation, which looked at all of the emails stored on Clinton’s private server, but these 14,900 never made it over to the State Department. The decision has been harshly criticized by Republicans.
Trump is right that the FBI recovered “several thousand work-related emails” that Clinton did not turn over to the State Department, as FBI Director James Comey disclosed in July.

“Using broad search terms, we have identified a number of documents potentially responsive to a Benghazi-related request”, Elizabeth Trudeau, a State Department spokeswoman, said in a statement. It is unclear if all of the documents were emails maintained on Clinton’s server or if they resided somewhere else. “At this time, we have not confirmed that the documents are, in fact, responsive”.
