hello. i'm wolf blitzer. it's 1:00 p.m. in washington. wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. up first -- the sprint through crucial make or break states on the road to the white house. we're less than 11 days and counting until the presidential election here in the united states, and the candidates, they are in a race to the finish line. donald trump holds a rally soon in manmanchester, new hampshire. keeping our eyes on that. one of three stops on trump's

agenda today. besides new hampshire he campaigns in maine and iowa. his running mate, mike pence harks stops in north carolina and pennsylvania. hillary clinton campaigns in iowa while bill clinton is in pennsylvania. clinton's running mate tim kaine and president obama campaigning for her in the key battleground state of florida. our senior white house correspondent jim acosta is covering the trump campaign for us, joining us from manchester, new hampshire. so, jim, what is trump's message and strategy today, 11 days to go? >> reporter: yeah, wolf. i just talked to a trump campaign official who says that the gop nominee when he does address this crowd here in manchester, new hampshire, will again be talking about the drug epidemic they've been dealing with up here in new hampshire. a subject donald trump likes to talk about a lot when he visit this state. but he is also going to be keeping up his attacks on obama care and on these ethical questions surrounding the clinton campaign that have been generated by those e-mails stolen by and released by

wikileaks. so we'll hear more of that from donald trump, but i think the other big story line today, wolf, no question about it, is this news that donald trump we're hearing this in the last hour, has gone ahead and written a $10 million check to his campaign. that is according to trump campaign officials, confirming what donald trump himself told fox news earlier this morning. those questions, of course, were raised because last night it was reported that donald trump had only spent some $30,000 on his campaign, and the first three weeks of october, and that he is about $44 million short of his stated goal of chipping in $100 million to his campaign. even a $10 million check, wolf, won't get him very close to the $100 million total and i think the schedule today also says a lot. he's here in new hampshire where he faces an uphill battle against hillary clinton. republicans are in a very tough re-election fight when it comes to holding on to the senate seat kelly ayotte holds in the senate

currently. john sununu, former governor of his state, but a longtime republican voice of the state, was just up onstage behind me and really sort of twisting elbows in this room. saying to republicans, in the state, i know some are reluctant to support this nominee. i know some are concerned about his rhetoric but we need you to get to the polls and remember who he's running again. that is hillary clinton. so interesting candor coming from john sununu, a bit of an uphill climb and heads off to maine after this. in main lett ermaine later on t afternoon. the trump campaign says we would like to peel away a vote in maine to get closer to 270. if you win a congressional vote in that split electoral system you can get an electoral vote showing you inside the trump campaign they know that is a very narrow electoral path to

get to 270 electoral votes and, yes, worth investing this time this late in the campaign to go up to maine and pursuit of an electoral vote and iowa, holding a solid lead. latest polls coming in, p.i. poll and others, shows it's tightening there. as days are getting shorter, the pressure is getting greater on this campaign to try to find that path to 270. my guess is, wolf, we're going to hear the same old donald trump we've been hearing over the last several days tossing out red meat to crowds. last night joked perhaps cancel the election and declare donald trump the winner. he is keeping his sense of humor through all of this, but expect these attacks on hillary clinton on obama care, that sort of thing to be stepped up here when he walks out. we're hearing he'll be here shortly. hopefully in just a few moments, woman. >> we'll stand by to hear what

donald trump has to say today. jim acosta, back to you. hillary clinton led every single poll out of new hampshire since may, but with trump stopping there soon, will it be enough to change that? let's talk about that with our panel. wanna summers, k wanna -- juana summers and gloria borger, chief political analyst and brianna keilar political correspondent. gloria, what message does trump need to share with voters in new hampshire right now? >> look, i think he needs to stick on his message. which he's actually been doing more than we've seen in the past. these past couple of days. he's got to talk about hillary clinton, wikileaks, draining the swamp in washington, which is a message that's very resonant for him, that she is the status quo. that he represents change, and that, that if you elect hillary clinton it's going to be more of the same. i think these he's going to be -- going to be talking up

wikileaks, and congressional investigations and continuing along that line. if he reverts back and starts talking about how he's going to sue nbc for the "access hollywood" tape or how he's going to sue these women who have come out and accused him of groping them, et cetera, then i think he's totally going off the rails again. >> juana, a lot people wonder why electoral -- four is a small number. it went for president obama both in 2008 and 2012. and all of the polls since june or may have been showing that donald trump is losing in new hampshire. so why is he going there with only 11 days to go? >> wolf, you're right. a couple different reasons why this is a state donald trump could perhaps do well and close in the margin if not win. first of all, looking at this from a sentimentality argument. the state that gave him his first political victory. won that pretty well and the state is a state with out of independent voters to sway.

look back to 2012, independents were about 40% of vote in the 2011 and barack obama won about five percentage points. it's a small state and demographics that favors democratic-minded candidates. i see an opening in the days ahead of the election perhaps donald trump could make a difference there if he does what gloria says, sticks to the script, focusing on what voters care about instead of the extraneous comments he tends to make on the road. >> holds these rails, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 people show up. impressive long lines but reporters haven't seen a lot of republican national committee staffers there and others to help them get the vote out, encourage these people to actually not just show up at a rally but go and vote. this is a missed opportunity, potentially? >> it's a shame for them and to give people a perspective what it's like to go to a hillary clinton rally, i walk in as a member of media and asked at

least five times coming and going if i am registered to vote. i say i'm here with the media. okay. i go on my way. but i'm asked over and over. that's the opposite of what they're dealing with, and it just -- it isn't enough to have enthusiasm. there's that saying you can lead a horse to water. you can't make him drink. he's more likely to drink if you do lead him to water. you sglknow? that's what getting people registered to vote to pledge to vote for hillary clinton or donald trump they'll benefit from. reports out of ohio in southern and eastern ohio will donald trump did well in primaries, voter registration is lagging. it's crazy it's -- not crazy but sort of it might, you know, put a hole in his here to they enthusiasm is enough just to get people to do this all on their own. >> i remember talking to folks not too long ago doing something about mondale, and walter mondale who ran for the presidency, and i was told by

one of his former aides, we had the last week of the campaign 30,000 people at our rallies, and you'll recall a loss of -- didn't go well. >> getting early insight into some of the early voting in iowa, for example. quinnipiac university poll showing that 61% of the early voters in iowa have cast their ballots for hillary clinton. so is this a sign that hillary clinton is just getting a lot of early votes out there? or is there a trend? something going on in iowa that maybe could be significant? >> well i do think it's significant a lot of the early voting seems to be favoring clinton in some of these states. you see that in north carolina as well. because its enthusiasm, turnout, also taking attention away from the close of the campaign and showing at the time when she was surging ahead of trump, she's able to capitalize that and get voters to the poll. enthusiasm and simply winning. earlier than election day. i think that matters. i think that donald trump is

actually failing in this respect right now. look, if he's tight and close to winning in florida and ohio he's got to be focused on those. get those republicans to come home. he's got to sound as much like a conventional aal republican as possible. his hard-core radical change is a supporters are behind him. wre we know this. he needs others. i cannot stand hillary clinton. he's a republican and i'm going to show up and vote for him, then he he has a chance. so much we can't see. early voting, look back say that's when hillary clinton really crushed him. >> people made up their minds easily, tend to vote early. and so you see that among democrats in a lot of states, which is, they're not going to vote for donald trump no matter what. the question is, as we continue those little bit of we are suedables, i'm not quite sure how many of left, they're not voting early. right? they're still thinking what they're going to do, an you

would rather vote after the debates. >> of course. >> and which he's in the middle of now between wikileaks, foundation questions about her husband an so forth. >> the assumption that the clinton campaign has a better ground game all over the country in these battleground states. and a lot more money right now, which will be translated potentially into votes? >> absolutely. the trump campaign rely and the rnc for on the ground operation haven't mounted the infrastructure we see from a ka candidate on either side of the aisle. the money race is huge. hillary clinton out raised donald trump in the first three weeks of october. doubled what he raised. cash on hand, a tremendous advantage. donald trump fueled another $10 million into his own campaign getting him into the $60 million out of the $100 million pledged to spend. late money. most of the airwave time is going between the campaigns and super pacs. not a lot to do there yet. >> breaking news. i want to bring to our viewers right now, a new possible

investigation by the fbi into hillary clinton's e-mails. our justice correspondent evan perez joins us with details. what are you leving, evan? >> reporter: wolf the fbi director jim comey sent a letter to congress saying the fbi is taking a look at another set of e-mails it hadn't previously take an look at while doing its investigation. you remember back in july the director of the fbi announced that they were recommending no charges be brought against hillary clinton in that investigation. her use of a private server while secretary of state during her tenure as secretary of state. this letter that comey has now sent to members of congress says that new e-mails have now come to the attention of the investigative team. this is a team of investigators in the counterintelligence division at the headquarters of the fbi and are now going to take a look at these e-mails. now, we're told that the investigators are flonow going see to see whether or not these additional e-mails uncovered

contain classified information as well as whether to assess their importance to this investigation, wolf. this means that the investigation which we thought was over with is now back open and the fbi is taking another look to see whether or not there's something here for them to pursue. obviously, this is what republicans have been calling for because they believe that the investigation was not done exactly according to the procedures that the fbi usually uses in these types of investigations. so now this is another worry for the clinton campaign as we come to the closing days before the election. wolf? >> so basically i hear you saying, evan, this is a letter from comey, the fbi director, to members of congress. has hillary clinton and her attorneys, have they been separately notified about this potential new investigation? >> reporter: we haven't heard yet from the clinton campaign whether or not they've been notified. that's something we're trying to check right now, wolf.

we do know that the fact that the -- the director of the fbi is telling this to members of congress, he's simply trying to inform them because he testified a number of times already in congress that this investigation was done properly. he believes that the fbi did everything it could to see whether or not there's were charges appropriate in this case and they decided that it was not. these new e-mails they've uncovered, however, seems to indicate there's more here for the fbi to take a look at, exactly what members of congress have been calling for and, again, why he sent this letter. we have not yet heard from the clinton campaign whether or not this means ning to them. an important development days before this election. >> we have a part of that statement from the fbi director, james comey. put it up on the screen if we can. among other things, he writes this -- in connection with an unrelated case, the fbi has learned of the existence of e-mails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. i agreed that the fbi should

take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review those e-mails to determine whether they contain classified information as well as to assess their importance to our investigation. so this statement from the fbi director, evan says that they were working on other unrepresented cases and all of a sudden came upon some hillary clinton-represented e-mails that may have contained classified information, and now that's why they're reopening the investigation into the hillary clinton e-mail issue? >> reporter: that's right, wolf. that's right. going to look at these e-mails and one of the questions we obviously have is what exactly what investigation that is? we do not know what that investigation that unrelated investigation. we're told by sources that we've talked to that it does not relate to the ongoing wikileaks investigation. as you know, those wikileaks e-mails, those e-mails hacked by the russian intelligence services according to u.s. intelligence, and have now been

released by wikileaks raised new questions about clinton and her conduct there during the -- during her tenure as secretary of state as well as during her campaign here. so the question has been whether or not this is something the fbi should take a look at. we're told this is not related to the wikileaks investigation. it's also not related to the clinton foundation, which as you know, wolf, the fbi has taken a look at in the past. that investigation is still something that is, in the background of all of this. >> we know fbi investigations take a while. quickly, evan, i suspect nothing is going to emerge unless there are leaks and presumably there could be over the next 11 days or so before the u.s. election. right? >> reporter: right. the fbi director says he doesn't know how long this is going to take. i anticipate, wolf, that we're not going to know the answer until after the election. >> evan perez, our justice

keer correspondent. back to the panel. gloria, potentially another worrisome development for the hillary clinton campaign. the timing, rather awkward. >> i'd say so, and we were just talking earlier what donald trump should talk about today. i think this. while this letter does say, would of, from comey we cannot assess wethether this material y be significant and i also can't say how long it's going to take to complete, it's very clear that it is significant politically. that -- that donald trump can say more of the same. they have reopened an investigation that they closed or so they thought, in july last summer, and he can go to the, to the corruption angle with hillary clinton. i mean, we -- you know, as evan was just saying, there's more we don't know about this than we know. they've come across something that may potentially be significant, but they have absolutely no idea. puts hillary clinton in a very difficult spot.

with the wikileaks hack, they can just not answer questions and say, oh, that's the result of the russian, and they're not answering any questions about that. this, i think they do have to answer some questions, and can't just push it aside, and if i were the trump campaign, this is what i would be talking about almost exclusively. >> brianna, you and i, all of us, know how washington works. if there's something there, it's going to leak, come out quickly and that's going to be a problem potentially for the hillary clinton campaign. >> certainly is. even the idea that this is being looked at again is something that is damaging. you remember hillary clinton said that basically what she said was fbi director comey said i didn't do anything wrong. i'm paraphrasing. that's not what he said. what he said was she and her aides were reckless in the handling of e-mails and on this server, but even now she certainly feels like she didn't do anything wrong. but it's not really an argument,

she can't go as far as before. you know? now it's up in the air. it's -- it's one of the things you hear them say is sort of that's over and done with. we've moved on. right? that's been put to bed. you can't say that. >> now investigating again and says at the end of his letter, david, although the fbi cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant and i cannot predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work i believe it is important to update your committees about our efforts in light of my previous testimony. that sort of sounds a bit ominous. >> well, we'll see what it is. i mean, what i think is striking is, there's no question that there's political fallout from this, because it's still a political football. what is also striking is the extent to which the fbi director of the united states is allowing himself to be interjected into this political campaign. unprecedented that he would have released the information he released after a decision not to recommend indictment. you just don't see that done

ever, and now he is very publicly exchanges information with committees bent on keeping these investigations alive, and also striking, the silence of the attorney general of the united states who has rendered a judgment flot to per sue anything criminal. the politicization of these two roles will extend far past -- >> he's come under enormous criticism from republicans. >> he has, who felt the clinton were essentially a criminal enterprise and fbi agents who leak this information, want hillary clinton charged with a crime. has said nobody would have brought such a close. not eve an close call and trying to release that information to quiet down critics against the fbi and then the fix was in. you're in the tank for hillary clinton. so he's not looking good anyway. you strike it, but he continues to put more information out, close to the election. >> and at the same time he cleared her this past summer he

said her handling of e-mails was reckless. he made an editorial judgment. >> right. >> even though he didn't prosecute. kind of stuck. >> which was never done. >> he says extremely reckless. >> he did. a statement made from him deciding not to make the charge. biggest thing that sticks out a candidate you can't draw a direct line to the e-mails but see in poll after poll after poll people have deep concerns across america and across democrat graphics about hillary clinton's honesty and trustworthiness and some polls people say donald trump is more hon effort and trustworthy. from that standpoint, this reverse the aal and may be an o question is not good for her campaign. no way to turn this as a good thing for her. >> the legal issues are xplex what was classified, when it was classified, what she knew, legal matters that will be sorted out. we know as a matter of judgment, a decision to delete 30,000 e-mails is dam that has been done to her and her judgment that that will continue and will

perhaps be the subject of an investigation as to what may be in those e-mails. >> the question whether people have already decided on that issue. >> right. a political matter. >> and is it a political matter or whether there are still some of those voters who were undecided for whom this will matter and that's why it's important how hillary clinton decides to handle this. >> quickly talking about in october, a surprise, potentially could be a october surprise. >> multiple. a very eventful october. yes, waiting to see, of course, what this bears out, but, yes. >> we're going to stay on top of the breaking news. the fbi looking into, once again, looking into the hillary clinton e-mail issue. more on that. also coming up, donald trump set to take the stage any moment now in new hampshire. will he say anything about this new development in the clinton e-mail scandal? we'll bring that to you live. stand by. lots of news happening. we'll be right back. enjoy your phone! you too.

we're following breaking news. just coming in to cnn. the director of the fbi james comey informing congressional

lawmakers the fbi will reveal new hillary clinton e-mails to see if they do campaign classified information. e-mails not reviewed in the previous investigation according to the fb i director gentlemen n connection with an unrelated case, e-mails appear pertinent to the investigation. i am writing to inform you the fbi briefed me yesterday and i agreed the fbi should take appropriate investigative steps to review the e-mails to determine whether they contained classified information as well as to assess they're importance to our investigation" and he added "although the fbi could not assess whether this is sig ken consent it is important to update your committees about our updates in light of my previous testimony." bring in democratic congressman

tim ryan of ohio. he supports hillary clinton. congressman, thanks very much for joining us. >> great to be with you, wolf. >> this is sort of a bombshell right now coming at the end of october. only 11 days before the election, that the fbi director has decided to reopen the investigation into the hillary clinton e-mail scandal. what's your reaction? >> well, i can't imagine there's any there, or anything that's really going to van affect on the election. i think the donald trump supporters currently with him, this is going to be something he's going to throw out to his crowd and they're going to say, see, see, see? the clinton people and the clinton voters are going to continue to be with hillary and i think for the undecided voters, however many there are at this point, are going to be more concerned with the fact that the economy is growing. the fact that hillary clinton wants to invest into them, and

that she's more on their side than donald trump is, in the light of how donald trump behaved in the last few months. so i think while this will make news for sure, i don't think it's going to have much of an effect on the election. >> here's what probably will happen, just based on my years of experience here in washington, and you know this as well. the fbi is going to try to keep this information relatively quiet. they're not going to leak any of this information presumably, although you never know where the leaks come from, but i suspect over the next 11 days we're going to get a lot more information. what are the documents, where these documents came from, did they contain classified information? was it simply confidential or was it secret? was it top secret? should she have known? was it marked classified? all of these kinds of issues. once again, we've reviewed them for moss and moss leading to the decision not to recommend charges, months, and in the next 11 days a dominant issue and i

assume is worried you as a hillary clinton supporters? >> as i said, i don't think it's going to have a lot of effect on the current electorate but i'll say this. where have these documents, where did they come from? how did the fbi get to them? where are they? all this stuff going on with russia now. all of wikileaks issues of stolen documents we don't really even know if some have been manipulated or not manipulated. why didn't the fbi have these documents through all of the different investigations they went through on this where the fbi said that, you know, she didn't do anything wrong? that maybe careless, that's it, and would have had to have been a huge conspiracy of 300 people in the state department conspiring to, you know, release confidential information. why didn't it come up in all of this? hillary clinton has been thoroughly vetted on this issue. the fbi chose not to do anything with the information.

and we have all moved on. so the question is -- where did these documents come from? how did they get to the fbi? is russia involved in this? we don't have any clue where this stuff is coming from, and so for this to come out -- >> the only thing we know, he says, in -- comey says it was in connection with an unrelated case. all of a sudden they came upon these e-mails that may or may not contain classified information. are you concerned about the decision that the fbi director james comey has now made based on the information he received yesterday to reopen this case? in other words, do you have confidence in comey? >> well, yes. i think -- i think comey has throughout this upset both sides. i think you can say, which usually shows a level of fairness. now, this is a huge surprise that this would come out just days before an election. that, to me, is a surprise, but i think he's proven himself to

be thorough, as an investigator and that's why i'm confident with his pass decision saying that hillary clinton didn't do anything wrong and i'm sure after going through tens of thousands of e-mails, tens of thousands, and for a couple to be ruled classified, even when they weren't properly marked classified. like, that's all that happened here, wolf. that was it. out of all of these e-mails, a little c, many paragraphs down, wolf, that they weren't labeled at the top as classified, and comey said she didn't -- there -- it wasn't worth pursuing. i'm confident that this will go aw away. >> that's what he said -- >> at a very inconvenient time. >> he concluded that last july saying he would not recommend criminal charges although very critical of her behavior. as you suggested, the donald trump campaign already reacting. kellyanne conway, the campaign manager for donald trump.

she has just tweeted this, i'll read to do viewers. a great day in our campaign just got even better. fbi reviewing new e-mails in clinton probe. that from kellyanne conway. so clearly this is an issue that the trump campaign, the donald trump supporters, republicans are going to really try to focus on over these next 11 days. trying to hit those undecided voters. especially in your home state of ohio right now who are -- who aren't really committed to either hillary clinton or donald trump. you know the ohio voters. how is this going to play with the undecideds in ohio? >> they're worried about economics. they're worried about jobs, wages. and college education. like the costs of college. the bread and butter issues that they're going to hear e-mails and their eyes are going to glaze over, wolf. in all honesty. they've been hearing this for

how long now? hear's e-mails, see donald trump tweeting about e-mails and their eyes will glaze over. they're going to make a decision based upon economics and whether or not we'll continue the progress we've made and we get news today the economy has grown at 2.9%, moving in the right direction. largest growth we've had in a long time. they're going to vote on that i issue, because hillary clinton's going to continue that. that's the important issue. they don't listen to the side shows, frustrated with the way the campaign unfoldaled. especially the way donald trump behaved. they're eyes will glaze over and won't pay attention because they want issues that they care about to be talked about and that's what hillary will do when in ohio in the next week and bill in the next week and we'll bring it home and she's going to be the president. >> congressman, i want to read to you a statement that has just been released by the specker of the house, paul ryan on this

breaking news. "yet again hillary clinton has nobody but herself to blame. she was entrusted with some of our nation's most important secrets and she betrayed that trust by carelessly mishandling highly classified information. this decision long overdue is the result of her reckless use of a private e-mail server and her refusal to be forthcoming with federal investigators. i renew my call for the director of the national intelligence to suspend all briefings for secretary clinton until this matter is fully resolved." as you know, congressman, the national intelligence director and his staff, they provide classified national security briefings to both presidential candidates. that's part of the, the law, if you will, leading up to an election. this is pretty extraordinary for speaker ryan to now tell the intelligence community aend any classified briefings for hillary clinton because presumably he says she can't be trusted.

your reaction to what the speaker has just said? >> i'm glad the speaker didn't just act like judge and jury and ultimately make a huge decision on information that he knows absolutely nothing about. he should be more concerned about whether or not he's going to be speaker in the next couple of months, as opposed to be throwing these flames at hillary clinton. he made a judgment there on information that he doesn't have before him. that he doesn't know about. he's renewing a call that he already made months before that was already disproven by director comey with the ruling that he made to not further pursue this stuff. you're going to have a bunch of republicans go out there and try to make political hay. because they have nothing else to talk about, wolf. in some sense this is a gift to them, because they still got to look in the mirror and defend donald trump. and people and voters are going to make a judgment. these are e-mails we're talking about here.

these are e-mails. and she's already been proven and comey already said he's not going to pursue this. correct? so that's already been said on the initial investigation. the judgment voters still have to make is, do you want donald trump to have his finger on the nuclear weapon? yes or no? and regardless of what's goings on with some e-mail that just has been pulled out of midair, ten days before the election, the question before the voters is -- is donald trump stable enough to be the president of the united states? and the answer is, no. he is not stable enough. that's the ultimate question. >> and congressman tim ryan of ohio. thanks for joinings us with the breaking news. a lot more here on cnn on the breaking flus. the fbi now looking into newly discovered clinton e-mails. standing by. we'll be hearing from donald trump at a rally in new

hampshire. guess what? you can be sure donald trump will be reacting by the new decision, by the fbi director to reopen the clinton investigation on to her use, as, her use of a private e-mail server. we'll be right back.

willing to have the courage to right the horrible mistake that they made. this was a grave miscarriage of justice that the american people fully understood, and it is everybody's hope that it is to be corrected. so that is a big announcement that i heard ten minutes ago. and i guess obviously most of you folks have heard about, and in all fairness for all of the people that have suffered for doing so much less, including just recently, four-star general

james cartwright, general petraeus, and many others, perhaps finally justice will be done. with that being said, the rest of my speech is going to be so boring. should i even make the speech? we will talk about borders. right? we will talk about trade. we'll bring back our jobs. we'll strengthen our military, and let's get going. okay? i want to thank general flynn.

he's a great general and i want to thank you for being here, general. thank you very much. just before the general was going up we heard this news. i said, general, get up there and keep them busy. we want to -- we want to digest what just happened here. thank you, general. in 11 days we are going to win new hampshire. the state of my first victory, and we are going to win back the white house. 75% of the american people think our country is on the wrong track, and we are going to fix it. we are going to get our country back on the right track and very, very quickly. real change begins with immediately repealingable replacing obama care, and that is big news. that is big news.

we can't forget hour -- >> continuing to monitor donald trump. he's getting into his campaign speech right now talking about the affordable care act, obama care, but there's breaking news, important breaking news we're following. the fbi director james comey just sent a letter to the eight chairman of the senate and the house committees who have been investigating the hillary clinton e-mail scandal in which he says there will be a new investigation. among other things says in connection with an unrelated case, the fbi learned of existence of e-mails that appear pertinent in the investigation and writing that the team briefed me on this yesterday and ai grade the fbi should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these e-mails to determine wethter they contain classified information as well as assess their importance to the investigation. gloria borger, for the fbi

directory make this announcement 11 or 12 days before the election based on information he has, i assume the information must be very, very significant. if he's going to reopen his fbi investigation based on the new information he received, it can't just be some tangential issue? it's got to be somebody significant. >> we don't know, woulf. tell you one thing, reopening an investigation that was closed into hillary clinton's e-mail server, not necessarily her personal e-mails but her server, is something that is pertinent to this election. and i think that comey, as you know, has been criticized by both sides over this matter, and i think that it may be incumbent upon him to provide more information about what this involves, because otherwise he's going to be charged with leading a partisan investigation 11 days

before the election. so he is inserting himself. i understand why he was probably trying to do it. because i think the feeling, probably was, and i don't know this, that these things leak out as you were saying before, wolf, and that rather than have that occur, he is kind of a straight shooter who wanted to put it out there, but having done that and leaving this thing dangling without knowing how significant it is, without knowing what the other investigation was, without knowing any kind of sense of whether this is hillary clinton's e-mails or e-mails that were on her server, just leaves it dangling out there and making it even more of a partisan football than it already was before with all of these unanswered questions. >> juana summers, clearly something that the clinton, that the hillary clinton opponents, the donald trump campaign, you just heard from donald trump himself, they're welcoming this big time as they say. kellyanne conway tweeting a great day. -- the campaign manager for

trump -- a great day in our campaign got better. fbi renewing new e-mails in clinton probe. they're going to use this going forward during these final 11 days, and you saw how pleased and happy donald trump is. >> that became immediately clear as the scorer was developing, scrolling through my inbox listening to donald trump. statement after statement from republicans on capitol hill including speaker ryan, gongman bob goodloe shares the judiciary committee. unacceptable. shouldn't get briefings. shows her recklessness. in any political race up and down the ballas, begin their speeches talking about this issue, pointing out the fact we have a candidate in hillary clinton who is compromised. voters can't trust. a way to get back in the game, tighten margins in some tight senate and house races across the country. given a little bit of a political gift and smart to run

with it. >> michelle kaczynski, white house correspondent. speak are of the house paul ryan issued a statement among other things calling on the director of national intelligence to suspend all classified briefings for secretary clinton until this matter is fully resolved. suggesting she can't be trusted with classified information. >> right. he and others called for that before as well. we haven't yet heard from the white house on this breaking news. they may not respond until one of the press officials speaks to the press as scheduled later in the afternoon, as president obama is on his way to stump for hillary clinton in florida. it reminds me of the first time on the trail together. their fir appearance in north carolina on the very day comey announced his findings the first time. now going down to florida, which is sit a tight race, wants that make this case and this comes up. neither mentioned it in their sort of big presentation of the first time on the trail.

interesting to see how he addresses it. we've seen a much more comfortable president obama. he's looser. he speaks his mind more and said, look, you know, and just -- he speaks much more comfortably about some of the issues out there. so i'm curious to see >> this one not get between the fbi director and hillary clinton. >> to make the case in his own words "our legal affairs advisor. our analyst right now i should say. james comey said in july he's suspending the investigation. he found no reason to recommend criminal charges against hillary clinton al she he said she acted

extremely careless in her use of his private e-mail server. >> it's extraordinary. who are the ones to decide to bring charges. it's extraordinary because he entered into the court of public opinion various facts that never would have come out unless they were leaked so his choice to say the words "careless" et cetera shows you there was an act on his part in an effort to be transparent that has come to haunt hillary clinton. he is not reopening the investigation into the e-mail server, his statement is he's

trying to whether new e-mails came to light or whether she intended to thwart the law is and tried to use the e-mail server, et cetera, or use her e-mails that allows classified data to be exposed. gloria is correct. we don't have information about that looks like. although legally speaking it's not so shocking we don't have conclusions. optically in politics this is an extraordinary measure and can be blamed on comey's decision to provide information on the court of public opinion where nobody else would. >> our justice correspondent evan perez quoting law enforcement sources saying these newly discovered e-mails that the fbi now has possession of are not related to the wikileaks matter or the clinton foundation although the sources will not describe in further detail the content of the e-mails. i want to bring in jason miller right now, the senior communications advisor to the trump campaign joining us from new york. jason, thanks very much for

joining us. >> wolf, thank you for having me on. >> you heard your boss donald trump. he's obviously gleeful, but what if anything else do you know about this that is being made public by the fbi director himself. >> we're learning about this the same time the american public is but this is truly, truly remarkable development. this close to the election to be reopening the investigation means whatever it is they found to be very significant. we don't know what that is, we see that the fbi will make that available before the election. that will be something that comes forward so the american people can make a decision but this has been something that we've talked about a lot with the absolute violation of trust of the american people of not only exposing this confidante shl and classified information but then also the coverup and trying to keep it quiet so that these are things we think voters

need to know about before election day. >> the fbi director says he can not predict how long it will take to complete this work. my suspicion is he won't release more information between now and the election that is only 11 days away but there probably will be serious leaking going n on. in washington people talk and get this information but you presumably see this as a mom with -- bombshell has helping convince undecided voters to not vote for hillary clinton but to vote for donald trump. i assume that's the way you see this. >> this goes to what mr. trump saying all along, that there are real problems here, this is someone who put confidante shl information out there in a completely unsecure server. this is a violation of the trust. that this was set up specifically to get around laws and systems in place. wolf, think about it. five different people took the

fifty in the investigation into this. that doesn't happen if no crimes were committed or if laws hadn't been broken. something stinks here and i'm glad the fbi is going to get to the bottom of it. >> jason miller, thanks for joining us. jill mattingly is traveling with the clinton campaign for us right now. hillary clinton just landed in iowa for an event. phil is joining us on the phone, any reaction from the clinton campaign? >> wolf, it's kind of an incredible thing. the plane did not have wi-fi during the entire fight so you have senior advisors as well as hillary clinton on the plane and as the plane landed they were finding out about this as we were landing. i had one advisor tell me "we're learning about that at the same time you guys are." they didn't have advanced notice of this, they seem similarly stunned and we saw them huddling, we've been waiting for hillary clinton to deplane to go to that first event in cedar rapids, as of now she has not. it appears all of the advisors

were on conference calls as we were getting off the plane. wolf, just important to note, they were clearly not aware of this in advance, as this news was breaking and hillary clinton and the top advisors were on their way to iowa, they didn't appear to know until we touched down in cedar rapids, wolf. >> so, phil, we -- what time is she expected to speak, can you tell us? >> she's expected to speak in about 20 minutes. she hasn't gotten off the plane yet. the reporters are waiting outside her plane right now to yell and see if she'll come over and say anything. usually the deplaning process happens rather quickly but it's worth noting her top advisors are on the plane, campaign manager robby mook, houma abedin, her close advisor is also on the plane right now. they have not decleaned yet. still waiting far to happen, waiting to see if they will have reaction. i think the takeaway is they had no idea this was coming so they're trying to formulate a response right now, wolf.

>> i'm wondering if the fbi director james comey also gave a heads-up to hillary clinton and her attorneys that he was reopening this investigation. it's a bombshell development, no doubt about that. we'll wait to hear from hillary clinton herself to see what she and her campaign staff have to say. zblor ya, what can i say? this is something that is so extraordinary coming 11 days -- and james comey, former u.s. attorney, former deputy attorney general of the united states, he's highly respected even though he's been bitterly criticized by a lot of republicans for concluding she didn't commit any crimes even though she was in his words extremely reckless in the way she handled the e-mail on her private server. for him to come forward like this now suggests to me he's not a political guy, that something is going on. >> well, it suggests, at least, that they saw something that they thought could be potentially significant in an

investigation that they closed and that he felt that he needed to notify the appropriate congressional committees. i think a little bit more transparency is actually required here. i think he's trying to be transparent in publicizing what he was doing but you are 11 days before an election so it's kind of an extraordinary circumstance. we have donald trump talking who just a few days ago was talking about the fbi being rigged today saying he has great respect for mr. comey, the head of the fbi and i think that if there were certain things that he believed were pertinent to the investigation, his words, not mine, that may potentially be significant, i think there needs to be a little bit more meat on those bones because otherwise he's put himself directly in the middle of a political campaign. 11 days before the election.

>> it's possible, juana, too, that he got word that fbi officials, others in the justice department, learned of these newly discovered e-mails from an unrelated case and he feared they could leak this information. that's when he made the decision to go ahead and inform members of congress he was reopening it. >> that's right, wolf. that's one of my biggest questions upon hearing this news is what unrelated investigation? we don't have information. we heard from evan perez that this isn't related to wikileaks or the clinton foundation. what is related and how do we get to this point. in the condemnation the way mr. comey made in handing the e-mails, that's what i'm curious about. >> fbi director james comey informs congress and the american people in a formal statement that he's reopening the investigation into hillary

clinton's use of the private e-mail server after discovering some new e-mails in an unrelated case. this is a major development only days before -- 11 days before the election. our special coverage will continue with brooke baldwin right now. here we go. we're live in tampa, florida, on this beautiful friday afternoon. i'm brooke baldwin, thank you so much for being with me. this is a state that is one of the biggest prizes of this entire election and we are just 11 days away and on this day, so, so close, breaking news, a big headache for hillary clinton, here's what we learned moments ago, that the fbi is reviewing new e-mails in the clinton investigation so let's go straight to our justice correspondent pamela brown. we've been q
