The US state department has proposed releasing portions of 55,000 pages of emails from Hillary Clinton by next January.
The department made the proposal in a federal court filing on Monday night after a freedom of information lawsuit was launched by Vice News.
In the filing an official said the department planned to post the releasable portions of the 55,000 pages on its website. He said the review would take until the end of the year and asked the court to adopt a completion date of 15 January 2016.
Clinton, a Democratic presidential candidate, has said she wants the department to release the emails as soon as possible. The disclosure that she conducted state department business on a private email account has been a controversy for the campaign.
