Hillary Clinton made multiple unsuccessful attempts to reach Bill Clinton by phone during the former president's 2009 trip to Brazil, where he was giving the keynote speech at an ethanol summit hosted by the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association.

The batch of emails released by the State Department late Tuesday included the following exchange from June 4, 2009. It raises questions, such as: "What else are the Clintons hiding?"

The "Doug" mentioned in the email is presumably Doug Band, a former Clinton administration aide who is known to have accompanied Bill aboard convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's private jet, affectionately known as the "Lolita Express."
