The State Department said Thursday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not turn over all of her emails related to Libya.
Longtime Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal gave the House committee investigating the 2012 attack in Benghazi nine emails that the State Department said are not among emails Clinton handed over last year, The New York Times reports. Officials at the department were also only able to find portions of six other emails that Blumenthal delivered to the committee. A spokesman for Clinton said that she gave the State Department "over 55,000 pages of materials," including "all emails in her possession from Mr. Blumenthal." In total, Blumenthal gave the committee about 60 emails related to Libya.
