The FBI is reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) tweeted Friday morning: “FBI Dir just informed me, ‘The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.’ Case reopened.”
Moments later, NBC News reported that the agency was reopening the investigation and shared a letter from FBI director James Comey informing key lawmakers of the investigation.
Hillary Clinton has failed to effectively contain the damage from the release of thousands of campaign chairman John Podesta’s personal emails, giving new ammunition to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
The fallout from the daily releases have raised concerns among Democrats that even if Clinton is elected president, the controversy will follow her into the White House.
The FBI revealed Friday it was reviewing a new batch of emails that ‘appear to be pertinent’ to its previous investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server – and sources say they were found as part of an on-going investigation into Anthony Weiner. He is the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Weiner resigned as a New York congressman after scandals involving sexting.
