Clinton sent Chelsea emails later secret

Chelsea Clinton was sent an email by her mother, Hillary Clinton, that was later classified by the US state department.

The State Department on Friday released a 2009 email chain that shows then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton forwarding to her daughter material that the department classified last year.

In December 2009 email, US President Barack Obama's trade adviser, Michael Froman, sent to senior White House and State Department staff members.

After it made its way up to Clinton, she sent it to "Diane Reynolds," an email pseudonym for Chelsea Clinton.

"See below," Clinton told her daughter. The entire email chain has been blacked out on confidential grounds, the lowest level of classification.

The chain was among the State Department's last release of documents from Clinton's private server before Tuesday's presidential election.

The department classified portions of two other emails released on Friday, written by Clinton's deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin.

The department designated portions of each "confidential." State Department spokesman Mark Toner said neither document was marked classified when it was sent.
