FBI Completes New Review of Clinton Emails, Finds Nothing
The Federal Bureau of Investigations has completed its review of a new batch of emails related to Hillary Clinton’s private email server, and is still not recommending charges against her, according to a letter written by director James Comey and sent to members of Congress.
This new letter comes just over a week after Comey alerted the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI was looking into more emails, reportedly found on Anthony Weiner’s computer during an investigation into his sexting scandal. Because Weiner’s estranged wife Huma Abedin is Clinton’s top aide, some of those emails were written to and from Clinton.
That letter, vague in its description, set off more than a week of speculation and assumptions about what the emails contained—even as millions of voters cast early ballots in swing states that could decide the election. The Clinton campaign—and intelligence officials on both sides of the aisle—condemned Comey for leaving so much to voters’ imaginations with just 11 days to go before the election. It was a somewhat unprecedented move for Comey, considering government officials aren’t supposed to do anything that could influence the results of an election.
