The US Defense Department has found an email chain that Hillary Clinton did not give to the State Department, the State Department said on Friday, despite her saying she had provided all work emails from her time as secretary of state.
The correspondence with General David Petraeus, who was commander of US Central Command at the time, started shortly before she entered office and continued during her first days as the top US diplomat 2009.
The Defense Department provided the emails to the State Department, according to spokesman John Kirby. The exchange of 10 or so emails largely dealt with personnel issues, according to the State Department.
Clinton's use of a private email account connected to a server in her home instead of a government-issued email address came to light in March.
News of the previously undisclosed email thread only adds to a steady stream of revelations about the emails in the past six months, which have forced Clinton to revise her account of the setup which she first gave in March.
