Judicial Watch: New Emails Reveal State Department Photo Session with Clinton for 'Primary Sponsors' of Clinton Global Initiative

Records Also Reveal that Clinton/Abedin Accessed Classified Information Concerning Afghanistan through Unsecured Server

Contact: Jill Farrell, Judicial Watch, 202-646-5172
 
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- Judicial Watch today released 207 pages of new Department of State documents, including previously unreleased email exchanges in which Hillary Clinton's top aide Huma Abedin worked with top Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) executives to set up group photo sessions for Clinton with "primary sponsors" of CGI and members of the CGI staff. CGI is a project of the Clinton Foundation.

The new records also reveal that Abedin sent classified information concerning "foreign relations or foreign activities of the U.S., including confidential sources," about Afghanistan to her own unsecured email address. Also included are more instances of the State Department doing special favors for high-dollar Clinton Foundation donors and the distribution of Clinton's government schedule to members of the Clinton Foundation staff.

The new documents contained seven Hillary Clinton email exchanges not previously turned over to the State Department, bringing the known total to date of such emails uncovered by Judicial Watch to 235 of new Clinton emails (not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over to the State Department). These records further appear to contradict statements by Clinton that, "as far as she knew," all of her government emails were turned over to the State Department.

The records include a request for a group photo session with CGI "primary donors" just prior to a speech on September 25, 2009, given by then-Secretary of State Clinton to the group:
