Clinton's Private Email: 1,500 More Pages Made Public

The State Department is closing in on its goal to release all of former Secretary Hillary Clinton's private emails.

Just before 6 p.m. tonight it published 881 of her emails, totaling 1,589 pages.

Last year, Secretary Clinton turned over 52,455 pages of email from her private server in accordance with a State Department effort to obey public records regulations. At the time, Clinton said she had permanently deleted 30,000 pages of email that she deemed to be personal and not work related.

To date, the State Department has made public 48,535 pages.

Under court order, the State Department has been steadily reviewing those 52,455 emails and releasing them to the public. So far, 22 emails have since been deemed "top secret" and shielded from public view. In addition, hundreds of pages have been partially redacted due the presence to lower-level classified material. Of the emails posted today, 88 were upgraded to "confidential," which is a lowest level of classification.

The next -- and final -- release is expected on the Monday evening before Super Tuesday, when presidential candidates compete for delegates in a dozen states.
