This email release is in response to Freedom of Information Act requests by News Channel 7 and other media outlets to the governor’s office. It released his calendars, his financial records and his emails. There are more than 3,300 pages of emails.

The emails show that Gov. Sanford also couldn’t be reached by his staff in June 2008, when he was in Argentina with his mistress. The state Commerce director was trying to reach the governor and couldn’t by phone or email, so he emailed the governor’s staff asking for a way to contact him.
