Washington (CNN) Only one email from the batch of 14,900 new documents the FBI found from Hillary Clinton's private server directly references the Benghazi attacks -- and that was a letter of praise from an ambassador, the State Department said Wednesday.

The State Department is reviewing the large trove of documents recovered from Clinton's server and last week said that as many as 30 exchanges could be related to Benghazi. But the department told a federal court Wednesday that all but one had been previously released.

The newly published exchange is an innocuous note from former U.S. ambassador to Brazil Tom Shannon, praising then-Secretary of State Clinton on her performance at a 2013 Senate hearing on the Benghazi attacks.

"Please extend to the Secretary my congratulations for her testimony today before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I watched with great admiration as she dealt with a tough and personally painful issue in a fair, candid, and determined manner," Shannon wrote in the email sent January 23, 2013, to Cheryl Mills, a top Clinton aide................................

3. There is one email out of 14,900, interesting, now some republicans are thinking it is 14,900 new

emails, if they had something to hang on to it would be different.
