The email dump, the third since Clinton handed over the work-related emails on her private server to the State Department, is the largest batch released so far. None of the emails were classified at the time they were sent, a State Department spokesman told reporters. Clinton has [repeatedly insisted](http://time.com/3999566/hillary-clinton-downplays-email-concerns/) that she did not send emails marked as classified from her private server during her time as Secretary of State. Much of the content on her server has been labeled as classified after the fact, including two that have been called “top secret.” Two inspectors general concluded that two of Clinton’s emails contained material that was classified at the time they were sent. “I did not send or receive material marked as classified,” Clinton repeated last week at the Democratic National Committee summer meeting in Minneapolis. **MORE:**[_Hillary Clinton’s Lawyer Readies for Email War_](http://time.com/3998444/hillary-clinton-email-investigation-david-kendall/) A federal judge has ordered the State Department to release Clinton’s 55,000 work-related emails in monthly batches as they scan emails to ensure nothing publicly released contains sensitive information. Clinton’s use of a private email server has weighed heavily on her candidacy, hurting her trustworthiness among voters and stirring up doubts among Democratic Party leaders. Her campaign has sought to frame the controversy over classified material on her server as an interagency battle over classification, insisting that Clinton followed State Department protocol at the time. The FBI is now analyzing Clinton’s use of a private server to ensure they were handled securely, but there is no criminal investigation into her use of a server. ### See Every Hillary Clinton TIME Cover  The September 14, 1992 issue of TIME Gregory Heisler  The May 10, 1993 issue of TIME Steve Liss  The March 21, 1994 issue of TIME Dirck Halstead  The March 18, 1996 issue of TIME Brad Markel  The July 1, 1996 issue of TIME TIME  The October 20, 1997 issue of TIME Patrick Demarchelier  The Feb. 9, 1998, issue of TIME.
