BREAKING: Top House Republican Announces FBI Director to Re-Open Investigation Into Clinton Emails
Politics?
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the powerful Republican Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has just announced the Director of the FBI has told him the Bureau is re-opening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.
Chaffetz has been in the news lately, after denouncing Donald Trump and pulling his endorsement when the “Access Hollywood” tape was released, but this week Chaffetz announced he will be voting for Trump.
He also just posted this tweet:
FBI Dir just informed me, “The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.” Case reopened

FBI Director James Comey came under fire by his fellow Republicans when the FBI completed its investigation into Clinton’s emails and he announced no reasonable prosecutor would ever bring a case against Clinton.
Today’s letter from Director Comey offers scant information:
