The discovery of these emails rocked the US election, making Donald Trump cheer and Hillary Clinton apprehensive. But in a letter to Congress, FBI Director James Comey said that a recent review of the newly discovered emails did not change the agency's conclusion. No charges were warranted in the case of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.
In a letter to Congress, Comey said the agency had completed its review of the new emails and “we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton.”
A letter sent by Comey to Congress more than a week ago informing it of the newly discovered emails had thrown Clinton's presidential race against Republican Donald Trump into turmoil in the final stretch before Tuesday's election.
“I am very grateful to the professionals at the FBI for doing an extraordinary amount of high-quality work in a short period of time,” Comey said
Hours after FBI reaffirmed that Hillary Clinton will not be prosecuted, Republican nominee Donald Trump cast doubt on the thoroughness of the agency’s review.
The crowd repeatedly broke into loud chants of “Lock her up!” as Trump hit Clinton for her use of a private server.
