Early Friday afternoon, the U.S. Department of State released 296 of the emails Hillary Clinton sent and received from a private account during her time as secretary of state.
The emails, which are available on the State Department's Freedom of Information Act website, include information on Clinton's response to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, which left four Americans dead. Some of the emails Clinton received on the private server contained information on Benghazi that is now-classified.
"The emails we release today do not change the essential facts or our understanding of the events before, during, or after the attacks," the State Department tweeted shortly after releasing the batch of correspondence.
