READ HERE: FBI Releases Additional Clinton Email Interview Notes

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks during a campaign stop in Orlando Fla. on Sept. 21. Most of Mrs. Clinton’s emails recovered during a FBI probe into practices from her time as secretary of state won’t be made public until aft

The FBI late Friday released almost 200 pages of interview summaries from the agency's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server when she served as secretary of state.

The judge ordered the department to produce as many as 1,050 pages of documents in three batches to the plaintiff, Judicial Watch, before the November 8 presidential election, with the first production to the conservative government transparency group due October 4. The paper said that material was out of what could be as much as 10,000 pages.

The FBI released another cache of Hillary Clinton documents late Friday afternoon - the summaries of interviews conducted in the course of its investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

According to documents obtained by Judicial Watch, "in August 2013, State Department officials were aware of 17 FOIA requests relating to requests for Clinton correspondence, including four that 'specifically mention emails or email accounts'".

"This is an absolutely corrupt process the State Department has come up with", Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said, adding that the agency is delaying the process.

The State Department admitted that it has 5,600 Clinton emails recovered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that were government documents and not personal emails as she claimed.

Mrs. Clinton's emails are being sought as part of a lawsuit by the conservative group Judicial Watch, which is also the plaintiff in nearly two dozen other lawsuits seeking a wide variety of government records from Mrs. Clinton's time in office.

Saying he was sympathetic to the efforts of the State Department's heavily-taxed FOIA division, Boasberg offered his 1,500-page order.

The court ordered State to process the first 350 pages of documents by October 7, the second 350 pages by October 21, and the third by November 4.

The State Department has complained that it does not have sufficient resources to process all of the emails that are being sought, which has created repeated delays.

The FBI turned the documents over to the State Department at the close of the probe, which did not result in charges.

Mrs. Clinton's attorneys turned over roughly 30,000 emails to the State Department in 2014 making up roughly 55,000 pages.
