HARRISBURG — Following a court battle with the state Republican Party, Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration has begun releasing more copies of e-mails sent or received by Katie McGinty when she was his chief of staff.

Wolf’s press secretary Jeff Sheridan says the first batch of e-mails was handed over last week after the administration decided against prolonging the yearlong court fight.

McGinty is challenging Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey in Tuesday’s election.

Commonwealth Court ruled Oct. 14 that Wolf’s administration hadn’t sufficiently proven that the e-mails should be exempt under Pennsylvania’s open records law.
