Wikileaks releases 2,000 Emails from Hillary Clinton Campaign chairman John Podesta

Washington, October 8, 2016: The internet whistleblowing group Wikileaks released over 2,000 emails involving Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. The release comes the same day the State Department published 350 emails previously deleted from Clinton's private server.

At first inspection the emails date as far back as 2008 to 2016 and cover the gamut from the mundane like "Hillary Clinton's Chipotle Order" to "Call with HRC" to "My position on the Iran deal" sent from Nancy Rotering to John Podesta.

The State Department released 250 pages of Clinton's emails on Friday, following a court order to release 360 pages last month.

Newly disclosed emails show top Obama administration officials in close contact with Clinton's presidential campaign in 2015 about potential fallout from the former secretary of state's use of a private email server.
