Hillary Clinton got now-classified Benghazi info on private email

WASHINGTON -- Nearly 300 of Hillary Clinton's e-mails were made public Friday in the first wave of documents being released by the State Department.

She received information that is now classified about the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, on her personal server and some wonder how the e-mails will affect her presidential campaign.

The e-mails released seen so far do not reveal any new information about the attack nearly four years ago or whether the then-Secretary of State could have done more to stop it.

In a sign that the presidential candidate is not worried about the first release of private e-mails to and from her personal cellphone, she toured a New Hampshire brewery Friday morning and afterward, held a rare availability for the media.

"I'm glad those e-mails are starting to come up," Clinton said. "This is something that I've asked for a long time and those releases are beginning."

The 296 e-mails have become 850 printed pages. All are related to the United States diplomatic mission in Benghazi before and after the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack. Four Americans were killed including ambassador Christopher Stevens.

Republicans have charged that as Secretary of State, Clinton did not respond to repeated calls to tighten embassy security, and after the attack, was part of a cover-up that became an issue in President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.

Clinton has taken responsibility for the security lapses and says her e-mails released so far and in the future will prove there was no cover-up.

"We have released all of them that have any government relationship whatsoever," she said. "In fact the State Department has the vast majority of those anyway."

We did learn Friday that some of the post-attack emails on Clinton's phone contained information that is now considered classified. She said Friday that she does not believe the receipt of such information on her private device violated state department protocols.

There will be at least two more releases of e-mails to and from the device in question.

Clinton admits that thousands others were deleted during the years she used her private cellphone for government business.
