The FBI is announcing they have obtained new evidence that may or may not have anything to do with the investigation, which was never closed.

Quote:In July, Comey had testified under oath before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that the FBI was finished investigating the Clinton email matter and that there would be no criminal charges.It is correct that, as mentioned in my first post regarding the matter, that the FBI did not yet know "whether the new information was significant."
Comey was asked at the hearing whether, if the FBI came across new information, he would review it. “My first question is this, would you reopen the Clinton investigation if you discovered new information that was both relevant and substantial?” Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) asked Comey.
