(CNSNews.com) – A series of newly released Department of State documents obtained by the government watchdog group Judicial Watch show that longtime Hillary Clinton adviser Huma Abedin sent classified information regarding “foreign relations or foreign activities of the U.S., including confidential sources,” about Afghanistan to her own unsecured email address.
The email exchanges on Sept. 12-13, 2009 have been heavily redacted by the State Department because of the classified information contained therein. The emails released to Judicial Watch read as follows:

According to Judicial Watch, “the emails also show that Abedin sent Clinton’s government schedule through her unsecured non-State.gov email on September 8, 2009 and again on September 14 and included among the recipients members of the Clinton Foundation staff.”
Abedin currently serves as vice chairwoman for the Clinton/Kaine 2016 presidential campaign and was Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff when she was Secretary of State.
