In one announcement, a senior State Department official said that the department was handing over “a small number” of new emails related to the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, to a House committee investigating the incident.
Separately, the Associated Press reported that the administration had discovered a new chain of emails that Clinton had declined to turn over, despite her claims to have provided the government with all work-related messages.
The news builds on the growing scrutiny on Clinton, which has threatened to derail her White House campaign.
The AP report in particular is likely to add to mounting allegations that Clinton had repeatedly tried to deceive the public by using a personal email address routed through a private server.
According to the report, the email chain was with retired Gen. David Petraeus, and took place in the first few days after Clinton entered the State Department. At the time, Clinton was using neither a department-provided email address nor the “clintonemail.com” account which she used throughout her tenure as secretary of State.
