Emails made public Tuesday show a Ukrainian businessman and major Clinton Foundation donor was invited to Hillary Clinton's home during the final year of her diplomatic tenure, despite her spokesman's insistence in 2014 that the donor never crossed paths with Clinton while she served as secretary of state.
Amid scrutiny of Clinton's ties to Pinchuk in 2014, the Democratic nominee's spokesman, Nick Merrill, said Pinchuk had never met with Clinton during that time.
Other emails released through the State Department from the collection provided by Clinton shed light on the friendly relationship Pinchuk enjoyed with Clinton's State Department.
Douglas Schoen, the Democratic pollster, lobbied for Pinchuk after connecting the Ukrainian mogul with the Clinton Foundation.
Pinchuk's access to Clinton is yet another example of a foundation donor who may have found favor with her State Department team.
Two separate batches of emails - the 378 pages made public by Citizens United Tuesday and the 725 pages released by Judicial Watch Monday - contained dozens of examples of Clinton Foundation employees or donors who enjoyed direct lines to the highest levels of the State Department.
Clinton has faced growing calls to end her family's association with the foundation before Election Day despite her husband's pledge to curb foreign and corporate donations to the charity should Clinton win the presidency in November.
