statement on the fbi director's decision to go forward and launch a new review of her e-mail server and e-mails. stay with us for that late breaking development. earnhardt "outfront" starts right now. this is cnn breaking news. good evening, i'm erin burnett, "outfront" tonight breaking news. october bomb shell. the fbi reviewing new e-mails tonight related to hillary clinton's private e-mail server. you see in des moines hillary clinton going to be making a statement any moment. the first time today. breaking her silence on this fbi announcement. so we are going to be seeing that any moment. here is what we know right now. a law enforcement official telling cnn the e-mails were sent or received by clinton's

long-time aide huma abedin. and another source says there are thousands of messages taken with from one device shared between huma abedin and anthony weiner. and hillary clinton going to be appearing on that stage. second time she's spoken since the news broke but she has been giving so far her standard stump speech. she's not 15id said a single word about this investigation. you see them getting ready. jeff zeleny is traveling with hillary clinton, joining me on the phone. she's in des moines, iowa. wrapped up a rally. said nothing. now going to be coming back with a statement. what more can you tell us? >> i'm just standing a few feet away from those flags and she'll be holding what appearsing to be a press conference. cameras are set up and reporters

we are escorted into this room a few moments ago in roosevelt high school where she was giving the second of two stops speeches here in iowa where she is locked in a tight race with donald trump. now this is not something that secretary clinton normally does. she takes questions occasionally on her plane. but it's been quite some time since she's had something in this setting like this. but erin this is a different moment in this campaign. as we know, 11 days left and this is something that's taken the campaign by complete surprise. they want to get ahead of this obviously. we do not know exactly what she'll say or if she'll take questions from reporters. but this looks to me like the setting where she will answer questions from reporter. they clearly want to get beyond this if possible or at least address questions and get her voice into this story. because as we know donald trump will be in cedar rapids, iowa tonight just two hours down the road and assuredly will be talk about it a? >> certainly listen. jeff, stay with me. we are one two minutes away.

i want to bring in evan perez. our justice correspondent. you have an answer to perhaps the most crucial question. what's in the e-mails we don't yet know that. but why now? why did fbi director comey say she had to do this today? >> well erin this is an issue that began yesterday when the fbi director was briefed by investigators and they told him they had found these thousands of e-mails that were part of the anthony weiner investigation and into investigation of alleged attentioni ing attentioni insexting with a 16-year-old girl in north carolina. and they came to him and we have these e-mails. they relate to the clinton e-mail server investigations t. we still don't know exactly whether or not there is classified information in here but there is enough concern here that it has to be brought to the attention of the other agencies. the cia, the state department that owned this information. they have to review it to determine whether or not it is classified. and once that decision was made,

which was we have to do that. comey felt he had no choice but to go back to members of congress. he testified several hours before them and tell -- >> i'm going interrupt you. sorry. hillary clinton has just approached the podium to break her silence on this issue. >> i'd like to say a few words and then take your questions. i have now seen director comey's letter to congress. we are 11 days out from perhaps the most important national election of our lifetimes. voting and already under way in our country. so the american people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately. the director himself has said he doesn't know whether the e-mails referenced in his letter are significant or not. i'm confident whatever they are will not change the conclusion reached in july. therefore it is imperative that the bureau explain this issue in

question whatever it is without any delay. so i look forward to moving forward to focus on the important challenges facing the american people, winning on november 8th and working with all americans to build a better future for our country. thank you. >> have you or any of your advisors heard from comey or anyone else at the fbi today? and are you concerned at all these new e-mails will in any way review classified information that you sent or received? >> no. we have not been contacted by anyone. first we knew about it is i assume when you knew about it. when this letter sent to republican members of the house was released. so we don't know the facts. which is why we are calling on the fbi to release all of the information that it has. even director comey noted that

this new information may not be significant. so let's get it out. >> you have 11 days to go. what would you say to a voter who right now will be seeing you and hearing what you are saying. saying i didn't trust her before. i don't trust her any more right now and they are heading to the ballot box tomorrow? >> you know i think people a long time ago made up their minds about the e-mails. i think that is factored into what people think. and now they are choosing a president. so i would urge everybody to get out and vote early in all the states that have early voting. because i think americans want a president who can lead our country, who can get the economy working for everyone, not just those at the top and you can bring our country together. i offer that. i can do that. and i'm very confident that the american people know that and we're going to continue to discuss what's at stake in this election because i believe that

it is one of the most important elections ever. >> huma abedin and her husband anthony weiner. have you spoken to huma? >> we heard the rumors. we don't know what to believe. and i'm sure there will be even more rumors. that is why it is incumbent upon the fbi to tell us what they are taking about jeff. because right now your guess is as good ads mine. and i don't think that's good enough. so we've made it very clear that, if they are going to be sending this kind of letter that is only going originally to republican members of the house that they need to share whatever facts they claim to have with the american people. and that is what i expect to

happen. thank you all. all right they are trying to get more questions in. you saw hillary clinton taking just a few questions there from reporters. really putting this on the fbi. she's clearly, i agree that the fbi hasn't put out the details from the e-mail saying they need to put that information out echoing her complain manager john podesta today. your guess is as good as mine and i didn't think that's enough what she said. mark preston "outfront" with me now. tube b. david gergen and tom fuentes former fbi assistant director. mark preston, what do you make of her strategy? this is going on offense. come on fbi. you say you got something. put out there or i have nothing to say. >> and our reporting is telling

us in fact it was a shared device that was huma was using with her husband anthony weiner. i suspect they do have an idea of what humaed a forwa ed had f the devices. so a very good defense is a strong offense. and the fact of the matter is this probably, there is a chance this doesn't necessarily touch hillary clinton other than the fact that one of her aides might have done something that was wrong. >> can i just add? we can argue as the clever strategy to take the offense. one thing we know almost for sure is that the fbi is not going to release anymore information for the next 11 days. because this is an issue about classified information. classified information -- >> -- throw them out there then the world could see classified e-mails. >> right. and then what they have to do first is go to the fbi, go to the cia and say is this classified? is this inappropriate material? that is a process that takes a long time. so, you know, this is a clever

challenge to the fbi. all but certain not to be answered. >> tom fuentes, you just heard what hillary clinton said. it is imperative for the director to explain himself incumbent on the fbi to tell us. is there any chance in the next 11 days that comb sey is going say okay here is who sent the e-mails and who sent them and received them? >> i would be shocked if director comey or the release anyone releases anything. if there was classified material in the material on the device now you have an additional person that wasn't part of the original investigation that they are now learning, anthony weiner, that he was looking at or might have had access to material that was classified.

that is another element and there may have been messages on the devices they weren't aware of before and adds to a new element of avenue that wasn't been pursued in the first place. >> and donald trump a long time ago had raised this issue of huma abedin and anthony weiner perhaps sharing classified information. wire going to get to that later. but jeff zeleny is back was. jeff you were in the room. a incredibly brief statement and incredible brief answers. she only took a few questions. she had a smile but she seemed very angry and it was a tense moment. what was it like in the room? >> i don't know if i would say angry as much as an wanting to get on the record about this and really echo what her campaign chairman john podesta said about earlier really calling on the fbi to release more information. she answered virtually no questions. she took questions but certainly didn't say anything at all about

the question of huma abedin. that are law enforcement telling colleagues here that it is her device or anthony weiner's device. she did not answer that at all. and one thing you didn't see on came camera, when she was walking out of room one of my colleagues asked the question if she was afraid this would sink her campaign. she laughed, as she often does when she's asked something she does not want to answer. sort of a defiant laugh is how i would describe it. but look, this is just something i'm told by one advisor they wanted to inject themselves into the conversation and bloodstream and really put out a call to democrats to make it look like this is part of this partisan inquiry going on all long here. but this comes as donald trump is also going to be here in iowa within the hour, surely addressing this when he speaks. so they tried to add her voice but i'm not sure it answered any questions. >> david gergen.

no questions answered and you heard jeff zeleny using the word and she laughed, and gave a defiant laugh as he described it. >> listen. let's go back to the beginning of this. first of all i think it is important to set a foundation. and that is from my point of view the fbi did the right thing when it revealed its investigation and went as public as it did early on. having done that, when it discovered this new trove of e-mails, it seems to me that director comey did exactly the right thing. he had to go public or otherwise he would have been accused after the election of hiding it from the voters who had a right to know before the election. and the republicans would have had a very strong charge against him. up until this point he's done the right thing. but in the same breath seems to me mrs. clinton and john podesta are right. we've been left dangling on what's involved here. what's really going on. i think at minimum they ought to

identify how many e-mails we're talking about. ought to give some sense. huma abedin was her aide. there are likely lot of e-mails here not about national security but logistical details of running the state department and being secretary. we need to know are the bulk of te mails personal and business related or do they have national security? we shouldn't be left just dangling there. i just disagree this is the last we should hear from the fbi. >> lot of question ossen that but evan perez, what is the fbi grerkt going to do? you heard jeff say he can't. he can't come out and give more information. will he even give us a sense of how many or anything? >> that is one of the the things i think that is behind closed doors at the fbi headquarters that they are thinking about. you have to think that when hillary clinton comes out and alsober by the way republicans also asking for more information. they believe there should be

more information. he sent this three paragraph letter which left more questions than providing answers. he's been criticized by donald trump. called him a lacky that the fbi was corrupted. and -- appalling that the fbi director would violate what se shade sauce the tradition to not inject itself just a few days before the election. obviously a lot of pressure here. he's withstood it so far it's been a very tough period for comey and the fbi. we'll see whether or not this changes anything. i'm not sure it will. >> mark what do you think? >> and law enforcement reality of how the fbi operates and how comey doesn't really want to get drawn into this other than trying to does do his job. there is a political reality. take two test cases. this test case where this comes out at 1:00 or 2:00 this afternoon. hillary clinton addresses it by 7:00. strong offense. doesn't necessarily answer questions.

but had she gone into hiding she would like like she's hiding something. >> you don't think the delay of six or seven hours was not a long delay. >> in this campaign absolutely not. given the sensitive nature of that. donald trump the "access hollywood" tape took the whole day until midnight to address that. the political reality. wloernt she answered questions. getting in front of a camera though, they had to do that. >> what does the fbi do next here? >> i know it is an ongoing debate and in terms of fbi policy director comey deviated from normal policy back in july when he announced the closing of the investigation before even sending it to department of justice prosecutors for a deformation of whether it should be prosecuted. so now he's kind of painted himself into a corner where he had to deviate again to say wait we've got new information and we're going to take another look at this.

i think they have been talking about how to stop the bleeding for a while at fbi headquarters, especially much of the reporting that's come out that's been untrue. the reporting that cheryl mills laptops. made an agreement with her and looked at her laptops and destroyed and destroyed evidence afterwards. that is not true. not one computer or laptop or device has been destroyed by the fbi or any of the owners with permission in the investigation. so that was false reporting and will there are a number of aspects like that will where they are debating what do about addressing the information. >> there is an informal but widely recognized fbi policy that you don't make a announcement within sixty days of the election. here we are 11 days away. if she says something else, sevn days, six days. there is nothing they can do to reof this issue.

>> part of the concern of the fbi is they feel the clinton staff delayed this for a long time. obstructed the release of messages and all that and caused this investigation to be started late and now it comes up at this stage right before the election. that they could have been investigated a year and a half earlier and put away much earlier and now they are faced with this situation that it is right before the election day. >> what are they supposed to do? they find out about thousands more e-mails. we don't know how many. that's the number thrown about. thousands of e-mails. is he supposed to say nothing? you can't say nothing. >> you can't say nothing. but let's let's me just say. it is inconsistent for the fbi to be leaking things. have individuals leaking things to reporters and to say no director comey can't say anything. they ought to speak with one voice. he cannot leave this country in a sense of mystery about what this is all about. it is unfair to the voters. it is unfair to both parties. they have to tell us everything

they know. it just seems to me that is clear and obvious that you can't leave the country kadangling on the eve of election with something so sensitive. having opened it up, they have to deal with it. >> all right. let's say they put out how many e-mails there are. they don't know how many if they are classified or not. can't releast them specifically because some could be classified. say this goes to after the election. say she win. what happens then? they have to continue it. what if this something that is truly a bomb shell, then what? >> then comey says the department of justice needs to appoint a special counsel. special prosecutor. certainly this can't be investigated further if hillary clinton is the president of the united states, if comey feels this needs to be criminally investigated more fully it has to go to independent counsel. and there is a long tradition whether watergate or iran contra of the special counsels and

prosecutors and. >> forgive me because this is moving so quickly. i can't believe we haven't heard from house republicans saying they are going to be hearings monday on this. again, political play. but jeffrey we've already heard jason chaffetz in the last 72 hours he has two years of investigations he's going to launch against hillary clinton. >> the best thing that could happen to hillary clinton is having more hearings with people who have an obvious agenda of trying to defeat her. >> it would be smart to not do that. >> but they are going to do it. >> isn't there one other element here? >> we're going to be back right after the break. sorry. coverage continues. donald trump is about to stake the sage at a rally in cedar rapids, iowa. and even before today's news a tracking poll showed trump closing in on clinton every day this week. what is his new path to 270

tonight? and anthony weiner's long and complicated relationship with the clintons. those new glasses?

they are. do i look smarter? yeah, a little. you're making money now, are you investing? well, i've been doing some research. let me introduce you to our broker. how much does he charge? i don't know. okay. uh, do you get your fees back if you're not happy? (dad laughs) wow, you're laughing. that's not the way the world works. well, the world's changing. are you asking enough questions about the way your wealth is managed? wealth management, at charles schwab. my mmade a simple trip toonic the grocery storesis anything but simple. so i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance in just 4 months.

humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask about humira, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. clearer skin is possible.

but my back pain was making it hard to sleep and open up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. now i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. breaking news. hillary clinton just going before cameras, speaking for the first time about the fbi decision to review new e-mails related to her personal e-mail server. clinton demanding the fbi release all the information that it has on the investigation. >> we are 11 days out from perhaps the most important national election of our lifetimes. voting is already under way in our country. so the american people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately. >> donald trump is expected to

speak very shortly also in iowa. he's trying to capitalize on this news. he says it should disqualify clinton from the white house. i want to go to dana bash in cedar rapids where trump is expected to speak momentarily. and hillary clinton has speaken now. broken her silence. what are you hearing from the trump campaign? >> reporter: you heard from donald trump himself at his stops before, the one we expect here in iowa tonight talking about the fact that he does think this is very big news. maybe the system he said isn't as rigged as he thought and sundayly heaping praise on the fbi after a lot of criticism when hillary clinton wasn't indicted. from this crowd already we're hearing chants "lock her up" kz not knew. something we've heard more months and months but it has a different sense and feeling given the news they heard from the fbi today. you know, erin, i remember

talking to a top trump ads advisor recently about the fact they were down in the polls and this advisor who's been around a long time said the break we need is something not necessarily good to happen to donald trump but something bad to happen to clinton. so they are hoping this announcement saying they are reopening the e-mail investigation is that moment. we'll see. it could be open and wrapped up soon. we just don't know how it is going to go. but i -- i can also say to you that in a place like iowa, erin, where they voted twice for barack obama and it is now leading more towards donald trump. this is the kind of thing that plays very well here. the number one thing i hear from people not just in the crowd kwhor mostly die hard trump supporters but elsewhere the outsider versus the insider. they are sick of more of the same and they want somebody knew and donald trump represents that. this reinforces the fact that

hillary clinton has been in for a long time and reinforces questions about her integrity and all of the above. >> dana, thank you. i want to bring back our panel. mark preston and david gergen, basil smikle, hillary clinton supporter. and the corey lewandowski, trump's former campaign mg. eleven days to go. she's going on a strong offense. she can say she wants the information out because they are not putting any out. is that going to work? >> she was forthright about it and i think she's absolutely right. republicans and democrats seem to want the same thing albeit for different reasons. but they want the same thing. it is not okay for this there to be sort of this half statement about these e-mails coming out. we want a full story. and, you know, the american people are owed that. 15 million people have voted already just about in early voting states. with more to come. and so it is unfair to them. it is unfair to the folks trying to go vote within the next few

days and certainly on election day for them to not have complete information about these e-mails. so yes i think she was absolutely right to come out and say we need this information as soon as possible. >> corey do you agree? or do you have any fear that gosh there might be nothing there if they put it out. >> here is what tim kaine said this week. director comey is a wonderful and tough career public servant. so now we have to stand by those words and all of a sudden the clinton campaign is trying to have it both ways. for an individual just a few months ago saying there's nothing to see here. all of a sudden he's come back and now i hear the democrats saying hey guess what, this isn't fair. this isn't right. he's broken protocol of the fbi. amazing the hypocrisy of the democrats all of a sudden calling into question's comey's credibility. >> i would ask you do pump your brakes a little bit. because the truth of the matter is that the trump supporters have gone from and republicans writ large have gone from trying to get the fbi to conduct an

investigation when it is over not liking the results. and now embracing director comey and saying, yeah, you know, this is great. another discovery 11 days before the election. so i don't care that is something -- >> not the republican. tim kaine that w.h.o. said that. >> it's -- on his shoulders of democrats quite frankly. >> so look, if you don't agree with what tim kaine said, your vice presidential nominee that is fine -- >> nothing to do with me -- >> -- on sunday he says he's a career and tough public servant and he's a good one. >> -- all along. >> -- the last three months you guys have said unequivocable he's above reproach, nothing to see here. let's move along. and now all of a sudden you are claiming this is politically motivated. >> you debate hear those words out of my mouth number one. number two, what hillary clinton has said and what i have said here is that it is important for this information to come out o.

don't do it piecemeal. put all the information out altogether. >> absolutely release the 33,000 e-mails that are missing. exactly right. she should release the 2 33,000 e-mails that are missing and then we'll have all the information available. let's have her do that so we can get all the information out in the next two or three days. it is very easy. she should do it immediately. >> why are we talk about this in this way. because even the director himself has said that this is not anything that has come from a server. he also said that it may be that none of these e-mails are significant. this was a device, a laptop owned by anthony weiner and his wife. where is hillary clinton in all of this except -- except there is an association there. but there is nothing -- >> -- >> we don't yet know who sent and received. >> exactly right. we don't know. >> one thing i'll say --

>> if you are open to aberdeen to be prosecuted because of the e-mails i'm fine with thatn't. >> you're putting a lot out there that is not substantiated and we've taken this well beyond the facts presented to us and we need to slow down and realize what the director himself has said and the director himself has said this is not about hillary's e-mail server. >> -- about the e-mail server. >> but here is the point i think you are both pointing out here. mark we don't have much information. and if the fbi is true to form and doesn't put out a lot because it is under investigation or maybe all they put out a raw number of e-mails but that is it.

this is just going to be speculation. because that is all it can be. >> and you have to be careful if they are going to put out any information what they do put out. if they put out a raw number of e-mails that doesn't tell us anything and could even lead to more speck lakes. >> when hillary clinton got into front of that podium and said i want you to put this information out. she needs it out. because the idea that it is hanging out there right now and could put some kind of thought in voters' minds that what this results in is, you know, her doing something that is entirely wrong is more damaging than getting the information out i think. >> and david gergen, is this does really matter to voters, our latest cnn poll found 64% voters say it was an important indicator of hillary clinton's character and ability to serve as president how she handled her e-mails. and when he asked about donald trump and the sexual assault accusations, his numbers were a little lower in terms of how relevant they thought it was. very relevant in both cases but for her 64%. so david gergen.

there is nothing more important to her at this point than this issue. >> i totally wii wee that. and this may be a story that will unfold over three, four or five days and change the tone of the election. could change the early voting and everything. as much as i think the fbi ought to give us more information, not only how many e-mails but characterize what's going on. because the bulk of them as i say may well be logistical, how to run a staff and that sort of thing. and we need to know that. voters need to know that. but the other thing i must say erin, is that hillary clinton herself and the clinton campaign ought to address this issue too. why in the world was it that there was after they said they turned in all the e-mails there is some device out there with tens of thousands of e-mails that the fbi didn't discover in all of its earlier things? were the e-mails received by hillary erased from her server but yet we have the ones that

huma has? this is very peculiar. i don't understand how the clinton campaign allowed itself to get into a position -- >> -- question about -- >> -- where this kwies was -- >> they were asked to turn everything over. huma abedin had a device. she didn't turn it over. that does raise a lot of questions. if they wanted to be complete y transparent they would have handed over all this stuff. >> i don't know who's actually the owner. clearly. if this is a laptop that belonged to him but she used on occasion. i don't know. it could be his and it turned up in this particular investigation with respect to anthony weiner and the sexting. i don't know the ins and outs but in this particular situation it is not hers -- hers being

hillary. it is not her laptop. it belonged to someone else and why we keep sort of putting her into this mix is what's troubling to me. >> because they worked for her. >> they worked -- >> but it -- >> and we don't know. back to what we don't know. we don't demo what the conversation topics were but if it's about the server -- >> have hillary clinton release her 33,000 missing e-mails she claimed were about yoga and hillary and chelsea and we won't have to worry about this and the fbi investigation. she can release all 33,000 e-mails she didn't turn over right now and it will take two seconds to go through these. done. >> two seconds we'll have the whole -- i want to play something though. hillary clinton's statement was very brief but she did address the elephant in the room question. which could this derail her campaign? someone asked her directly and here is what she said about the results. >> the director himself has said

he doesn't know whether the e-mails referenced in his letter are significant or not. i'm confident whatever they are will not change the conclusion reached in july. >> doesn't think anything is going to change about this at all. and went on to say this would have nothing do with the outcome of the election or not as jeff zel -- >> the bottom line is she needed to go out and address this. she addressed it in a way of trying to force the fbi to come out with information. and the fact of the matter is at this point in a time in the campaign when we honestly thought that hillary clinton was going to walk in backwards, you know, into the election. we'll have to say as david says what happens over the next three or four or five days quite frankly but it could alter trajectory. >> david gergen. how can she say with such certainty that these e-mails will not effect the fbi's

decision. if she doesn't know what's in the e-mails which she just fully admitted how could she say they would not categorically not impact whether he changes his mind on that? >> i don't know. i think that's sort of wishful thinking. i understand why she said it. and that's what campaigns do. so i don't think we ought to hold her too much to account for that. she must be so angry. not just the fbi. she must be so angry at her team. how do they get into this situation? why is this so sloppy that months after -- july. and here we are in october and the fbi just discovered this. they were under orders to produce all this stuff a long time ago. we've been hearing they dragged their feet. i don't understand. she must be so angry at her team. must feel really let down. >> all of this is happening. as a new poll comes out. this is an abc washington post tracking poll.

and it shows trump cutting clinton's lead by more than half in a matter of days. from 12 to 4. a pretty stunning margin cut. and trump, look he's trying to take advantage of this news today. talking about it already. about to give another rally in moments in iowa. new hampshire, he also talked about it. second congressional district in maine. that is where he went. these are the places he thinks he can win to turn this. if he's right, if he can turn those can he pull this out david? >> it is amazing. we've been talk act what a narrow path to 270 and you are right to look at where he went. iowa, new hampshire and maine for a total of 11 electoral remember our map, i'm going to . give donald trump all the battleground states right now. nevada say he wins. hangs on to utah and arizona. i'll even give him the nebraska congressional district. north carolina, ohio and

florida. he's still at 265. where was he today? in new hampshire. in he's been able to flip that he gets to 269. how does he get over the hump? that is why he was in maine today. they award their votes by congressional district. if he picks up that congressional district he gets to 270. and remember the maine second congressional district is full of the type of voters that are trump's stronghold. white non college-educated voters. a lot of those folks live up there. they think this is their path to victory. a narrow one. but they they they can do it. >> david chalian. thank you so much. self declared independent voters. are the people who could really decide this. according to a poll this week you saw trump already gaining momentum in this group. two weeks ago she was tied with clinton. a week ago he was up 7 and now he's up 13. does this move those voters? these so-called independents?

>> one thing it does is helps him solidify even more the republican base where we've seen them come home so to speak. as we're seeing democrats come home as well. but trump hasn't been as successful with his own supporters as hillary clinton has been with people in her party. with independents we'll have to see how it plays out over the next couple of days. there is a reason why they are independents. they don't trust ooirt party. they go with their gut and if they feel this is not being addressed adequately there is a chance you could see some of them go over to donald trump just because of this issue. i don't know if it is enough to win. but i this i you could see it happen. >> i don't think it is enough to win. but i also think that what voters do and you alluded to this is voters think about governance, think they think about policy. what's been missed in all the conversation about the laptop is that the supreme court is actually going to address this bathroom bill case in north

carolina. this is important policy for people on both sides. i would love to be talking about that. but i think that voters as we get closer to the election -- >> sound like a trump supporter. >> bring up the sexual assault -- i know i would love -- >> i'm a policy guy. so i love talking about policy. but that said i do think what voters look for in the last few days is governance. and i i've said for a long time. >> i think hillary clinton wants to win to though to be honest. >> -- absolutely. >> david gergen the fox news poll when it comes to honest and trustworthy. a --. 67% said she's not. this has always been her achilles heel. she's talked about this. she wants to change this perception. 11 days out. how much does something like

this if it keeps dangling hurt? >> well we don't know for sure. i think it will deepen people's feelings. i think it will motivate them to vote. -- he's been using language that's really very very hyper and may turn a lot of people off. he needs to be careful too. but i think a lot depends here on how she does it herself. she should not be quiet. she should continue talking and help us through the conversation. help guide the conversation. i think that is what she needs to do as the leader and would

help with the voting. >> thanks to all. and next we're awaiting donald trump to speak in cedar rapids, io iowa. and anthony weiner colliding with the clintons again. >> -- an enormous respect for clintons. they have been enormous friends, to my wife and to my family. re crohn's disease,... ...i was always searching for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i had it covered. then i realized managing was all i was doing. when i finally told my doctor, he said humira was for people like me who have tried other medications,... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief... ...and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections... ...including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,... including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,... ...and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb.

tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,... ...hepatitis b, are prone to infections, ...or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

you want a van that if you wdoes the same.ng, mercedes-benz vans. from the full-size sprinter to the mid-size metris... ...these are vans for professionals. strictly professionals. we're good. mercedes-benz vans. featuring the new worker vans, starting at $25,995. mercedes-benz. vans. born to run. and now...i'm in bristol, inia. tennessee. on this side of the road is virginia... and on this side it's tennessee. no matter which state in the country

you live in, you could save hundreds on car insurance by switching to geico. look, i'm in virginia... i'm in tennessee... virginia... tennessee... and now i'm in virginessee. see how much you could save on car insurance. or am i in tennaginia? hmmm... donald trump about to rally

supporters in iowa, expected to slam clinton on new e-mails related to her server. the campaign obviously is going to go hard after this. >> reporter: absolutely. earlier today the steph was telling us he was going to be talking about hillary clinton' mails and lo and behold this bomb shell was dropped. i don't think they understood the magnitude. and thinking about scrapping this event because they just wanted to soak the story up. shows you how much they have been waiting for this day. and i can tell you from talking to people over the last several months they are feeling vindicated. if you look back at the e-mail saga and hillary clinton going in and talk ott fbi on july 3rd

and the fbi coming out on july 5th saying they are not going bring charges. the story of bill clinton on the airplane talking to attorney general loretta lynch. and they have been saying for months there is a lot of smoke here. there must be fire. so now at the very end of this campaign, 11 days out they are essentially getting an answer to their prayers. if question i think becomes what happens to this campaign next? we're now looking at the prospect of an fbi investigation looming over this election until election day and very likely well after election day. and what looked like a fairly static race a fairly predictable race up until this point is now anything but. you heard hibbert earlier saying she's wants the fbi director to disclose more information. they want more information on the e-mails. kellyanne conway the campaign manager for donald trump is saying the same thing, yes we want more information about the e-mails. it is one of the rare moments of

the campaign where both sides are essentially on the same page at this point. they want more information because it could cut both ways just to show you how unpredictable all of this is in the final day, erin. >> thank you very much. and "outfront" now our presidential historian. if clinton is ahead by six points, how much can this development, something like this happening at this late point, how much can it effect it? >> well it can effect it in a very large way. because the reason the fbi didn't indict secretary clinton was there was no way of proving that she knew she was putting classified information at risk. >> the intent issue. >> right. if those e-mails should involve a conversation about classified information and the risk that secretary clinton was taking by using a private server that is a

game-changer. this country over the last 20 years as had more and more early voting. a lot of americans have already voted. >> nearly 15 million. >> and every day more vote. so whether this could shift the contest enough for her to lose, that is anyone's guess. but what it will do if something does come out of these e-mails is it is going to change the senate races. and it is going to make it a much closer election and then raise the nastiness about a rigged election. so this -- this is a very, very potentially damaging story and it is not over. and i'm not suggesting that it is going to change predictions that donald trump 538 is going to go to fifty percent but it is going to make the election closer and it is going to raise the issue of her trustworthiness. >> she came out and she was defiant saying look it is unincumbent on the fbi.

give us more information. >> i belief that a long time ago, secretary clinton should have explained why she chose to use a private server, which was because she did not -- i don't know her. but i'm assuming given her history she didn't trust that the state department civil servants would protect her private e-mail. so rather than let them decide what was private from what was public, she decided her and her lawyers would do that. that was a huge mistake. she should have explained that. she hasn't and now it trickles out. what we'll discover perhaps is she knew she was taking a risk. whether that was a risk of leaking classified information or not, that is the ball game. >> could be the game-changer. >> and of course the question is will we even know what those discussions were before the election happens? thank you thank you. up next the long and twisted investigation between the clintons and anthony weiner. and we're standing by more donald trump to speak live any moment. changes to make things right.

the bureau review new e-mails. the fbi discovered the e-mails while investigating whether anthony weiner was sexting on underage girl. it is the latest episode in a complicated relationship between weiner and the clintons.

>> anthony weiner a young congressman with a bright future and newly minted senator hillary clinton started serving together on capitol hill in 2001. about a decade later weiner would marry one of clinton's most loyal aides, huma abedin. >> i have enormous respect for the clintons. they have been enormous friends to. my wife and to my family. >> now weiner's bad behavior has reignited the e-mail controversy clinton's campaign hoped was behind them. the new e-mails come in the allegations that weiner sent sexually explicit attention messages to an underage girl. in 2001 weiner asked aberdeen out for a drink. she told clinton she had to work but clinton gave her the night off. clinton said she considered ab abedin a second daughter.

but the honeymoon wouldn't last long. a year later weiner resigned from congress after tweet picture of his cross-check. and then more controversials with women on the internet. and this year the fbi launched investigation in the allegations weiner exchanged sexually explicit text messages with an underage girl. they have since separated after six years of marriage but the political damage was already done. >> who is huma married to? one of the great sleaze bags of our time. anthony weiner. did you know that? think of it. so huma is getting classified secrets. she's married to anthony weiner. who's a perv.

>> reporter: so anthony weiner, years after most observers declared him politically dead is not only back but haunting the clinton campaign. >> i want to go down to des moines where they were covering the clinton campaign earlier this hour. 2 huma abedin is at the heart of this. and now a lot of speculation for a future role for huma abedin in the white house. would this put that in jeopardy. >> i could not imagine anything could really jeopardize the closeness of this relationship between secretary clinton and huma abedin. the positions i'm told that she's is likely to fill perhaps a deputy chief of staff role. perhaps something in charge of a political job, being in charge of outreach to people but it is

hard for me to imagine anything would separate these two. look what hasn't already. she's kept her around and she remains one of her top closest advisors and again we should point out we don't know any classified information was on these e-mails. that would be the only thing that could potentially break up the relationship. >> and obviously where you were moments ago when hillary clinton did take a few questions, she was specifically asked about huma abedin but she didn't answer, did she? >> she did not answer and the question was have you talked to huma abedin about what may be in the e-mails. and she deflected it into say the fbi didn't know what therp looki they were looking for. huma abedin was traveling with her throughout the day and on the press plane the two sit in a front cabin virtually by

themselves. so it would be virtually unimaginable to imagine them spending the whole day and not talk about this bomb shell. >> you can watch us anywhere on cnn go and our coverage continues with ac 360. thank you for joining us. what a day. tonight with just three lace left in october and eleven to the election few are surprised like few we've seen before. concerning hillary clinton's private e-mail serves. how we don't know. what we do know is that fbi director james comey notified congress the new e-mails and and a political fire storm broke out. and this evening secretary clinton weighed in. >> i have now seen director comey's letter to congress. we are 11
