Clinton: FBI needs to explain renewed email probe
Clinton: FBI needs to explain renewed email probe
By Reena Flores CBS News October 28, 2016, 1:30 PM
The FBI has discovered a batch of new emails that “appear to be pertinent” to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, according to a letter FBI Director James Comey sent to the chairs of pertinent Congressional and Senate committees Friday.
The FBI’s investigative team briefed Comey Thursday about the new emails and is now assessing, Comey wrote, “whether or not this material may be significant.” In his letter, the FBI director also warned the committee chairs, “I cannot predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work.”
Law enforcement sources told Pegues that the sheer volume of emails and the process of examining them will take days. Investigators are looking into whether they contain classified information.
In a hastily arranged press conference Friday night, Clinton said it was “imperative” for the FBI to “explain this issue ... without delay.”
Clinton said she is “confident” the conclusion reached in July about her emails will not change and downplayed its potential effect on the election.
“I think people a long time ago made up their minds about the emails,” she said.
The new emails -- which potentially number in the thousands -- came from a laptop that had been shared by top Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her now-estranged husband, Anthony Weiner, CBS News’ Jeff Pegues reported.
