EMAIL DETAILS

Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta of Friday called on FBI Director James Comey to immediately release more details about the new evidence it is reviewing as part of its probe into Clinton's use of a private email server at the State Department.

He also pushed back against the idea that the FBI is re-opening its investigation, which concluded in July. Comey recommended that the Justice Department not bring charges against Clinton for allegedly mishandling classified information.

"Already, we have seen characterizations that the FBI is 'reopening' an investigation but Comey's words do not match that characterization," Podesta wrote in a statement. "Director Comey's letter refers to emails that have come to light in an unrelated case, but we have no idea what those emails are and the Director himself notes they may not even be significant."

He also expressed frustration at the timing of the letter from Comey to lawmakers, informing them of the new evidence.

"It is extraordinary that we would see something like this just 11 days out from a presidential election," he wrote, adding, "The Director owes it to the American people to immediately provide the full details of what he is now examining. We are confident this will not produce any conclusions different from the one the FBI reached in July."
