CNN’s Gloria Borger said that President Donald Trump has instructed the U.S. State Department to quickly release Hillary Clinton’s emails from the time she served as secretary of state.
A backlog of Freedom of Information Act requests has reportedly slowed the process of releasing the emails to the public.
Three sources told Borger that Trump had a simple message to the State Department: “Get it done.”
The president has also been trying to promote a conspiracy theory that Clinton was involved with a corrupt uranium sale to Russia.
