After a federal judge ruled that Hillary Clinton's emails sent from a private account must be released on a rolling basis, the State Department is expected to release the first batch, which focuses on Libya, soon.
The New York Times reports that the first set of emails, taken from 55,000 pages of material, have been given to the House committee investigating the 2012 attacks on U.S. stations in Benghazi. The emails, sent when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, "capture the correspondence and concerns" between Clinton and her advisers after the Benghazi attacks, which killed four Americans.
