A huge collection of Hillary Clinton policy papers are set to be released this spring, just as campaign season dawns and the former secretary of state is predicted to hit the White House hopeful trail.
Politico reported the records span 150,000 pages or so and deal largely with matters of welfare, equal pay, family leave, civil rights, race, poverty and health care reform. They’re from the files of Mrs. Clinton’s policy advisers who served during former President Bill Clinton’s presidency.
The new files are being released as part of what the National Archives terms “systematic processing,” Politico reported.
“The records … describe correspondence regarding same-sex marriage between gay rights advocates, government officials, religious leaders and White House staff and internal White House discussions on how these issues should be handled,” the Archives said in a Jan. 9 letter to White House Counsel Neil Eggleston, Politico reported. “Additional materials relate to Department of Justice comments on portions of DOMA.”
