US State Department releases nearly 2,000 Clinton emails following federal judge order.
The US State Department has released nearly 2,000 emails from Hillary Clinton's time as top US diplomat following orders from a federal judge.
The large tranche of emails were made public shortly before 9:00pm local time (11:00am AEST) on the State Department's Freedom of Information Act website.
At first glance, the 3,000-some pages of exchanges contain schedules, communications with staffers, cables about China and concern over late Libyan strongman Moamar Gaddafi's 2009 US stay.
Mrs Clinton's electronic correspondence has been the focus of controversy since her admission in March that she had used a private account for all her email correspondence while secretary of state between 2009 and 2013.
Republican rivals contend that Mrs Clinton, frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, used the private account in order to keep it out of the public record.
But she has argued that as of late 2014, she had sent 55,000 printed pages from roughly 30,000 emails to officials who will archive the data and make it available to the public, as is required by law.
The remainder of the messages were deemed personal by Mrs Clinton and were deleted from herprivate server , she and her lawyers have said.
