The reporter whose case has forced the release of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails accused the Obama administration Monday of political tampering by asking to delay making the final set of messages public until after the first four states have already voted in the Democratic presidential primary.
Another 11 states are slated to vote March 1, just hours after the State Department has said it wants to release the final 4,000 or so emails -- which are likely to include some of the most controversial messages. That means nearly 45 million voters won't have enough time to digest the emails before having to vote, Jason Leopold, a reporter at Vice, said in a court filing opposing the State Department's new schedule.
"If the court allows State to delay release of thousands of pages of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's official work emails, a substantial portion of the electorate will be forced to vote without the benefit of important information to which it is entitled about the performance of one of the candidates for U.S. president while serving as secretary of State," Mr. Leopold said in his court filing.
Judge Rudolph Contreras has yet to rule on the State Department's request, made just ahead of Friday's snowstorm, asking for a one-month delay from the original deadline of Jan. 29.
The State Department blamed both the snowstorm and its own "oversight" in not sending out thousands of pages of emails to other agencies for their review.

They could set documents on fire on live TV with a zippo and nobody would do a thing.
Every federal agency needs to be scrubbed clean of these criminals - and several need to be eliminated entirely.
The Department of State is an anti-American organization.
Meanwhile, der Hildebeast is the most uncampaigning candidate I’ve ever seen in my life. She even gets a pass for that.
As someone who spent 28 years as a Foreign Service Officer, you are full of sh*t.
Something that I secretly wanted Nixon to do but alas.........
