A series of new emails have shed light on the relationship between Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation during the former's time as secretary of state.

Clinton aide Huma Abedin and Doug Band, a former high-ranking official with the foundation and adviser to Bill Clinton during his presidency, exchanged emails between June 2009 and March 2011.

In one of the email conversations, which were released as part of a lawsuit filed by the conservative group, Citizens United, the two spoke about passing on a message from a generous foundation supporter to the U.S. ambassador to Malta, ABC News reports.

Band forwarded an email to Abedin from South American businessman Gerardo Werthein, which was sent ahead of the ambassador's meeting with the Admor in Malta.

The Admor is the chief rabbi of Malta, and was an associate of Werthein's at the time.

Band called Werthein a 'great supporter' and 'big friend' when asking Abedin to pass on Werthein's message about the Admor to the ambassador.

Abedin then forwarded it for the ambassador's assistant, adding: 'Just want to pass along for info. No need for action.'

The emails also included a list of names Band wanted invited to a State Department lunch with Chinese President Hu Jintao in January 2011.

The names on the list were: former UBS president of wealth management Bob McCann, Western Union CEO Hikmet Ersek, and Rockefeller Foundation president Judith Rodin, according to ABC News.

Band later asked in an email if Rodin could be seated at a table with Vice President Joe Biden.

The Clinton Foundation's website says the Rockefeller Foundation has donated between $10 million and $25 million, Western Union contributed between $1 million and $5 million, and UBS Wealth Management USA forked out between $500,001 and $1 million.

But the foundation brushed off the new emails, with a spokesman telling ABC News they: 'aren't related to the Clinton Foundation's work improving lives around the world.'

It comes after it was revealed Chelsea Clinton would remain on the board of her family's foundation even if her mother is elected president, a spokeswoman said Thursday.

The announcement comes as a health project connected to the foundation is exploring a number of changes to minimize potential conflicts of interest in the event of another Clinton White House, but may continue to accept foreign government and corporate funding.

A spokeswoman said the for the 36-year-old was committed to ensuring that those benefiting from the foundation's work would continue to receive 'that often life-changing help,' and as a result she 'would remain on the board to help steward the implementation of changes which do that appropriately.'

Bill Clinton announced this week the foundation will no longer accept foreign and corporate donations and he will step down from its board if Hillary is elected president

It has been said Chelsea Clinton's continued role with the foundation could create exceptions to the changes announced by former president Clinton this week

Former President Bill Clinton announced the foundation will no longer accept foreign and corporate donations and he will step down from its board and stop raising money for the organization if Hillary is elected president.

But Chelsea's continued role could create exceptions to those changes and appear to be loopholes to allow control of the foundation and its projects to remain within the Clinton family.

The ex-president told staffers that he also would step down from the board of the Clinton Health Access Initiative Inc., a global health care project affiliated with the foundation, and it would consider 'a range of options to ensure that its vital work will continue.'
