Hillary Clinton's State Department Calendar Left Out Meetings With Key People: Report

Hillary Clinton's official state department calendar omitted meetings with donors, business leaders and contributors to her family's international charity, according to an Associated Press report published Friday.

The AP compared her official State Department calendar with "planning schedules" that her aides gave her each morning and found at least 75 meetings with at least 114 "outsiders" that were not included on her official calendar.

The more detailed schedules were obtained as part of a lawsuit the news organization has filed against the government.

A Clinton spokesman told the AP the differences are just a result of one schedule being more detailed than the other:

Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said Thursday night that the multiple discrepancies between her State Department calendar and her planning schedules "simply reflect a more detailed version in one version as compared to another, all maintained by her staff."

Merrill said that Clinton "has always made an effort to be transparent since entering public life, whether it be the release of over 30 years of tax returns, years of financial disclosure forms, or asking that 55,000 pages of work emails from her time of secretary of state be turned over to the public."

The findings raise more questions about Clinton's lack of transparency during her time as secretary of state, as she is currently pivoting toward a general election showdown against Donald Trump.

Clinton is currently facing a criminal investigation into her personal email server she used while serving in the State Department. The FBI is investigating whether Clinton stored information on the server that was marked classified at the time it was sent or received.
