  daytona beach flagolden colo reuters  democrat hillary clintons top aides on saturday lashed out at fbi director james comey for igniting a new controversy over a longrunning private email investigation less than two weeks before the presidential election saying there was no evidence of wrongdoing and accusing him of spreading innuendo 
  comey who has headed the federal bureau of investigation since  notified the us congress on friday that the agency is again reviewing emails even though in july it decided not to seek prosecution of clinton for her handling of classified materials on a private email server while she was secretary of state 
  john podesta who heads clintons presidential campaign told reporters that comeys letter to congress was light on facts heavy on innuendo and he urged comey to come forward and give those answers to the american public about the exact nature of the fbis latest review of emails 
  sources close to the investigation on friday said the latest emails were discovered as part of a separate probe into anthony weiner the estranged husband of top clinton aide huma abedin 
  weiner a former us congressman from new york is the target of an fbi investigation into illicit text messages he is alleged to have sent to a yearold girl in north carolina 
  with the nov  elections quickly approaching republican presidential candidate donald trump pounded away at the new fbi development devoting a large part of a campaign speech in golden colorado to attacking clinton and arguing that she is not to be trusted with the presidency 
  her criminal action was willful deliberate intentional and purposeful trump said standing in front of hay bales stacked in a horse barn hillary set up an illegal server for the obvious purpose of shielding her illegal actions from public disclosure and exposure 
  comey however has not provided any details on whether the emails now under review are being seen for the first time by the fbi or the nature of their contents 
  clintons campaign tried to play down the new review theres no evidence of wrongdoing no charge of wrongdoing podesta said in the fbis latest announcement that it was taking appropriate investigative steps after learning of emails that appear to be pertinent to the earlier probe 
  clinton campaign manager robby mook trying to tamp down speculation of a voter backlash this late in the campaign said americans had already factored what they knew about the email investigation into how they would cast their ballots 
  we dont see it changing the landscape for undecided voters mook said 
  clinton aides also said this latest controversy has further energized her supporters 
  clinton was campaigning in florida on saturday a battleground state that many analysts say trump must win in order to have any chance of being elected 
  in recent weeks trump has been running behind clinton in most public opinion polls 
  justice department officials according to a source who asked not to be identified were opposed to the fbi directors letter being sent to congress and believe his actions conflict with a justice department memo outlining instructions that agencies should not to act in ways that could influence elections 
  while attorney general loretta lynch did not discuss the matter directly with comey the source said aides were in touch with each other 
  comey let it be known he felt he had to send the letter as a followup to his congressional testimony earlier this year regarding the fbis probe of clintons emails the source said 
  meanwhile clinton supporters rallied to her defense following fridays fbi disclosure 
  the congressional black caucus comprised of about  members of the house of representatives nearly all democrats held a news conference in columbus ohio and urged comey to release more details
