Hillary Clinton and her campaign organization on Saturday slammed FBI director James B. Comey for coming out to disclose that the FBI was investigating a new batch of email messages from her private server, alleging Mr Comey was a threat to her presidential candidacy as the timing was 'deeply troubling' while her rival Donald Trump blasted her, saying she was trying to 'politicize' FBI's investigations.
FBI director James Comey sent a letter to congressional leaders on Friday informing them of
the existence of new emails that could be relevant to the agency’s investigation into Clinton’s private email use four months after clearing Hillary of any 'wrong doing in use of private email servers while secretary of state' .
At the time (July), Comey called Clinton "extremely careless" for the way she handled confidential information, but indicated there would be no criminal charges filed in the case.
