“Secretary Clinton is the reason why you and I are having this conversation, not Jim Comey”, he said.
In an interview with Fox News, the congressman expressed relief at Reid’s impending retirement from the Senate, and criticized the minority leader’s letter to Comey. She leads in most opinion polls ahead of the November 8 election. Suggesting that mailed-in ballots might not be properly counted, Trump told supporters at a Greeley rally to vote in person instead of relying on the state’s mail-in system – even if they’ve already submitted their ballots.
“So if you live here or in MI or Pennsylvania or Minnesota, you can change your vote to Donald Trump”, he added.
Comey’s concern about releasing the information was due to the proximity to the election, according to the reports.
“Release all the information he may have pertaining to Hillary Clinton’s associates and release all the information he has on these investigations regarding Donald Trump’s associates”, Mook said.
“He was also asked repeatedly under oath in hearings whether he was investigating connections between Donald Trump and Russian Federation and he refused to answer that question”. Abedin and or her attorney were in contact with the Federal Bureau of Investigation over the weekend, the source told CNBC.
The United States has blamed Russian Federation for cyber attacks on Democratic Party organizations.
Since the tape was released, 12 women have come forward to confirm Trump engaged in the type of behaviour he had boasted about and then denied.
“The overwhelming majority of Americans believe our country is headed down the wrong path, and this is the direct result of eight years of failures both at home and overseas by the Obama Clinton administration”, he said. FireEye said so far it had found no emails being sent back and forth or any other link.
National polls continued to tighten – to a virtual tie- Tuesday with just one week left before the U.S. Presidential election.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll yesterday showed Mr Trump had a 46-45 lead in the four-way race for the White House, while well within the margin of error.
“We don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed”, Comey wrote to Congress, according to CNN.
The FBI has reportedly obtained a warrant to search the cache of emails belonging to Ms Abedin, which are believed to have been found on her estranged husband’s laptop.
Comey’s letter has provided Republicans with fresh fodder for attack in the waning days of the campaign.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security recently declared that they had concluded that the Russian government was trying to disrupt or discredit the US presidential election and the broader USA political process by hacking into Democratic Party and Clinton campaign emails.
“This is the biggest political scandal since Watergate, and it’s everybody’s deepest hope that justice at last will be beautifully delivered”, crowed Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, without knowing what the latest batch of emails contain.
