Thread: FBI Reopens Clinton E-Mail Probe 11 Days Before Election

-The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reopening its inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s use of private e-mail while secretary of state, a politically explosive development less than two weeks before the presidential election.

“In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation,” Director James Comey said in a letter to eight committee chairmen in Congress. “I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information.”

Comey said he can’t say how long the review would take -- raising the possibility that Clinton could go into Election Day with the new probe unresolved and still hanging over her campaign...

...The F.B.I. is investigating illicit text messages that Mr. Weiner, a former Democratic congressman from New York, sent to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. The bureau told Congress on Friday that it had uncovered new emails related to the Clinton case — one federal official said they numbered in the tens of thousands.

Mr. Comey said the F.B.I. was taking steps to “determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.” He said he did not know how long it would take to review the emails, or whether the new information was significant. A senior law enforcement official said that the emails belonged to Ms. Abedin and were backed up on Mr. Weiner’s computer...
