NY Times:
"Experts on presidential papers, as well as advisers to Mrs. Clinton, say that “withholding” in that context did not mean the papers would be kept under wraps indefinitely. Rather, the word is a legal term in the Presidential Records Act requesting that the papers be subjected to review.
The advisers emphasized that the papers involving the couple would likely be released once they were reviewed. In interviews recently, lawyers and experts on presidential papers said it was not unusual for a president to want a close review of documents that might have personal or political dimensions. “Senator Clinton doesn’t have the power to override federal privacy laws; they protect all the other people who wrote or participated in conversations,” said Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive at George Washington University."
