The Associated Press (AP) is threatening legal action against the US State Department “for failing to turn over some emails covering Clinton's tenure as the nation's top diplomat after waiting more than one year,” reported the AP.

This comes amid allegations that Clinton used a private e-mail address and personal server during her time as secretary of state.

The news organization requested to receive the e-mails under the Freedom of Information Act, and according to the AP, the State Department “has never suggested that it doesn’t possess all Clinton’s emails.”

The AP said that “in most cases, individuals who operate their own email servers are technical experts or users so concerned about issues of privacy and surveillance they take matters into their own hands.”

On Wed 4 March, Clinton’s Twitter account tweeted: “I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.”
