Clinton’s Press Secretary Admits Some of the 15K New Emails Will Be Work Related

Fallon Acknowledges New Clinton Emails Uncovered by FBI Include Work-Related Messages (The Washington Free Beacon)

Hillary Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon acknowledged Tuesday that the thousands of previously undisclosed Clinton emails discovered by the FBI include work-related material she failed to initially turn over.

State Department lawyers confirmed to a federal judge on Monday that the FBI had uncovered nearly 15,000 documents during its investigation into her email practices as secretary of state. Clinton claimed in a press conference on March 10, 2015, that she turned over all work-related emails to the State Department from her tenure as secretary of state.

Clinton tried to laugh off the latest twist in the controversy on the late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live, leading MSNBC reporter Kristen Welker to ask Fallon on Tuesday if that was a smart strategy.

“She’s been answering questions about this for over a year. Of course it’s an issue that she takes responsibility for,” Fallon said. “She has said that she apologizes for it … In terms of these additional emails, if any of them turn out to be work-related, I suspect there’s a mix of personal nature, emails that are of a personal nature, in there, but to the extent that there are ones that are work-related, we want those to be released, too. We said that yesterday.”
