The State Department is asking a federal judge for a one-month extension to finish releasing the final batch of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails, a State official confirmed Friday.

The Department asked for more time to comply with a court order mandating the monthly release of Clinton's 35,000 work emails that followed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Under the court's timeline for release, State was supposed to make public the final batch of documents - which will be the largest in terms of page volume - on Jan. 31. Instead they're seeking an extension through Feb. 29.

"[T]he Department asked the court for a one month extension, to February 29th, to finish our production of former Secretary Clinton's emails," State deputy spokesperson Mark Toner said in an emailed statement. "State Department staff have been working extremely hard to process these emails and we are committed to getting them out. The court's goal for this month's production represented the largest number of pages to date."

The news comes just days after the intelligence community inspector general told lawmakers that intelligence agencies had discovered classified information in Clinton's emails that's even more sensitive than "top secret" - the highest classification of national security information in government. Clinton has consistently maintained that none of the messages were marked classified when she sent them.
