U.S. judge orders State Department to produce schedule for releasing Clinton emails: lawyer

Lawyer Jeffrey Light told Reuters that U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras also ordered the State Department by next week to come up with a specific timetable for releasing 300 Clinton emails related to U.S. operations in Benghazi, Libya.

Clinton, a leading candidate for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, has come under scrutiny for the emails, which were stored and sent via a private server. She has now turned over the messages to the State Department.
