The State Department has released 371 of the 15,000 emails from Hillary Clinton's private email server it had uncovered in its investigation before the November election.
The documents, totaling 1,031 pages, were released Thursday, The Hill reported.
The emails are "near duplicates" of those Clinton turned over to the State Department in 2014, according to the report, and they have been made public by the agency.
According to the department, a "near duplicate" includes emails that are identical to those forwarded from the former secretary of state to aides — and they might, for example, contain the direction "Please print."
The documents are records of emails sent to or received by Clinton directly during her four years as the nation's top diplomat.
In one case, Clinton sent an email to longtime aide Huma Abedin on Dec. 23, 2009. It said in the subject line, "My email is finally working!"
The text of the email has been redacted — and the document is labeled "Release in Part B6."
In September, a federal judge approved a plan by the State Department to review as many as 1,000 emails before Election Day in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch.
The plan also required the department to release the emails relevant to the FOIA action.
The agency will now review 500 pages a month, the Hill reported, and will release the pertinent documents after each evaluation.
As secretary of state, Clinton deleted as many as 30,000 emails from the private server, saying they were not related to her job as secretary of state.
She turned over thousands to the State Department in December 2014, but the FBI has since recovered other emails that might be included in the Judicial Watch lawsuit.
An early review of the 15,171 emails found 60 percent were classified as purely personal. Another 5,600 emails are work-related, but as many as half of them could have been duplicates.
Those emails will not be re-released, the Hill reported.
