A federal judge has ordered the State Department to release previously redacted information in Hillary Clinton emails concerning the Obama administration’s response in the immediate aftermath of the terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in 2012.

Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog that has closely followed the Benghazi investigation, announced U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s order on Friday. According to the group, Jackson ordered the State Department turn over “eight identical paragraphs” of information redacted from two Clinton emails on Sept. 13, 2012.

The contents of the emails include summaries of conservations then-President Barack Obama had with leaders of Egypt and Libya following the attack two days earlier, which left four Americans dead, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens.

The subject line on the emails read: “FW: Quick Summary of POTUS Calls to Presidents of Libya and Egypt.”

The emails, once released, will prove what Clinton and Obama knew and when they knew it, according to Judicial Watch.

“The full emails may reveal what former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama knew about the September 11, 2012, terror attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi,” they wrote in a press release.

The emails, which were on Clinton’s unprotected home server, were originally unreleased by the State Department after they claimed the emailed deserved a “deliberative process” Freedom of Information Act exemption.
