   WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES:  The State Department said Friday   
   that material that should have been marked "Top Secret" has been   
   found in seven email chains from former secretary of state   
   Hillary Clinton's private server.   
      
   Spokesman John Kirby said the emails, which he described as "22   
   documents covering 37 pages," would therefore not be released   
   publicly along with other emails from the Democratic White House   
   candidate's controversial archive.   
      
   The revelation comes three days before Clinton -- the   
   frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination -- goes   
   to battle in the Iowa caucus, the first time the public will   
   cast ballots on the long road to Election Day in November.   
      
   "These documents were not marked classified at the time they   
   were sent," Kirby told a news briefing, explaining that the   
   mails had been reviewed prior to public release and found to   
   contain "Top Secret" information.   
      
   "We can confirm that later today, as part of our monthly FOIA   
   productions of former Secretary Clinton's emails, the State   
   Department will be denying in full seven email chains," he said,   
   referring to the Freedom of Information Act.   
      
   "The documents are being upgraded at the request of the   
   intelligence community," he added, without naming the spy agency   
   involved, as is normal practice in official US statements.   
      
   Clinton's campaign reacted with fury to the announcement,   
   demanding that the emails be released in full in order to defuse   
   a burgeoning scandal that could critically damage her 2016   
   presidential hopes.   
      
   "This appears to be over-classification run amok. We will pursue   
   all appropriate avenues to see that her emails are released in a   
   manner consistent with her call last year," the campaign,   
   Hillary for America, declared.   
      
   'Loudest And Leakiest'   
      
   Another 18 emails, from eight email chains, sent between then   
   secretary Clinton and President Barack Obama will also not be   
   released as part of the scheduled Friday night document dump.   
      
   But Kirby said this was not because these emails contain any   
   classified information but was instead in order to preserve   
   Obama's privacy while he remains in office. These emails may be   
   released after he leaves the White House next year.   
      
   "To be clear, the emails between then Secretary Clinton and   
   President Obama have not been determined to be classified," he   
   said.   
      
   "They are entirely separate and distinct from the emails in   
   today's release that were upgraded to top secret, secret or   
   confidential, and I'm not going to speak again to the content of   
   the email traffic."   
   In the build-up to Friday's release, several leaks to US media   
   have suggested that highly secret information had been found on   
   Clinton's private server, which she used while in office instead   
   of an official government account.   
      
   The revelation of the so-called "homebrew" server was an early   
   embarrassment for her campaign, but she has long insisted that   
   no information marked as classified had been put at risk by her   
   unusual arrangement.   
      
   Her campaign returned to this theme in her statement.   
   "After a process that has been dominated by bureaucratic in-   
   fighting that has too often played out in public view, the   
   loudest and leakiest participants in this interagency dispute   
   have now prevailed in blocking any release of these emails," it   
   said.   
      
   "This flies in the face of the fact that these emails were   
   unmarked at the time they were sent, and have been called   
   'innocuous' by certain intelligence officials."
