The Federal Bureau of Investigation recently announced the agency had discovered thousands of emails from Clinton’s time as secretary of state on the computer of Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

FBI Director James Comey released a statement saying “we have not changed the conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton”.
But at the rally yesterday, Trump kept up his attack on Clinton claiming the FBI was also conducting a second criminal investigation into her illegal “Pay-For-Play” corruption at the State Department.
With Clinton locked in a close race against Trump, Comey’s October 28 letter offered renewed ammunition for the GOP candidate on the campaign trail.
“Along with President Obama, she will also lay out how the division and risky views espoused by Donald Trump in his campaign make him unqualified, unfit and unworthy to lead this great nation”, it said.
The FBI began investigating the handling of classified material on Clinton’s private server in NY shortly after she announced her bid in April 2015.
The FBI director’s decision to tell members of Congress this close to election day raised eyebrows among Republicans and Democrats alike. He criticized Cooper for producing few emails in a public-records request, suggesting that it is similar to accusations that Clinton misused her security clearance as secretary of state when relying on a private email server.
Dianne Feinstein of California, adding that Comey’s actions nine days ago “created a false impression” that unfairly hurt Clinton. Those comments led many Republicans to say they wouldn’t support their own party’s nominee, though according to Fox, 85 percent of those in the GOP now said they will vote for Trump.
A man was escorted out of the venue for loud booing and the Republican nominee resumed his speech shortly afterwards, telling the crowd, “Nobody said it was going to be easy for us, but we will never be stopped”.
During remarks at a black church Sunday morning, Clinton urged voters to choose “unity over division” as she sought to close a caustic presidential campaign on an uplifting note.
“The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election”, Trump says in his new, two-minute spot. Although Barack Obama won the state in 2008, it went red again in 2012, with voters choosing Mitt Romney over Barack Obama by a margin of about two percentage points.
The campaign appeared to signify it would not gloat over the announcement, as Palmieri declined to answer questions as she customarily does.
Clinton and Trump – along with their surrogates – have been crisscrossing battleground states in their final push to rally voters and announced additional stops till late Monday. Trump has said at rallies he expected Clinton to face criminal charges. Marshall, chief of Clinton’s state-based campaign organizations, said those early returns are the results of a massive campaign operation that’s been building for more than a year. This makes it one of the most uncertain of all the swing states, as Clinton has a 73 percent chance of winning Florida, a 79 percent chance of winning New Hampshire, a 91 percent chance of winning Nevada, and a 92 percent chance of winning Pennsylvania.
President Barack Obama will also be in MI as he visits Ann Arbor’s Ray L. Fisher Stadium on Monday.
But in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire early voting is primarily limited to special circumstances, meaning turning out voters on Election Day is key.
“Tonight, I want to hear you roar”, a smiling Clinton said before introducing Perry in Philadelphia.
“Voting is already underway in our country”, she said.
