Democrats brace for release of new emails

A scheduled hearing on Sept 23 will decide when to make Clinton's documents public

A judge has ordered the US State Department to review for possible release 14,900 of Hillary Clinton's emails and attachments that the FBI found when investigating her use of a private email server as secretary of state.

The judge also scheduled a Sept 23 hearing on when to release the emails, a deadline that raises the possibility some will become public before the Nov 8 presidential election between Democrat Clinton and her Republican rival, Donald Trump.
