The FBI is
probing new emails related to Hillary Clinton, FBI Director James Comey
said in a letter to lawmaker on Friday, October 28, 2016
Those new emails were discovered during
an FBI investigation in which the devices of former Congressman Anthony
Weiner and Clinton aide Huma Abedin were seized, The New York Times reported.
“In previous congressional testimony, I referred to the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) had completed its investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s
personal email server. Due to recent developments, I am writing to
supplement my previous testimony,” Comey wrote.
“In connection with an unrelated case,
the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be
pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the
investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and 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, as well as to assess their importance to our
investigation,” he added.
“Although the FBI cannot yet assess
whether or not this material may be significant, and I cannot predict
how long it will take us to complete this additional work, I believe it
is important to update your Committees about our efforts in light of my
previous testimony,” Comey concluded in the letter addressed to several
lawmakers who chaired committees.
Stocks turned negative after the report
of the new probe. Many analysts have said that markets were pricing in a
Clinton victory in November.
