this is it cnn breaking news. good morning. so grateful to have you with us. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwood. >> we want to get to the presidential race. we need to tell you about a story in italy. >> the aftermath of a 6.6 earthquake in central italy felt as far away as rome. the buildings in some areas, you'll see this, just rubble this morning. the damage you see here is northeast of the capitol and close to where this earthquake hit. >> i want to take a look at this next video, too. the first responders here helping nuns get to safety after their church was starting to

crumble. there was rubble, large chunks of masonry left strewn across the ground there and in the meantime, part of the basilica of san benedetto leveled. amazingly, no reports of fatalities yet and it's now two months since a major earthquake killed 300 people in the same region. in the past seven months this is the fifth earthquake italy has suffered. director comey was the one who wrote a letter that was heavy on indue endo, light on facts. >> it's pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election. >> hillary clinton should never, ever based on everything that took place be allowed to run for

the presidency of the united states. >> donald trump is already making up lies about this. he is doing his best to confuse, mislead and discourage the american people. >> hillary clinton's corruption is corrosive to the soul of our country and it must be stopped. it must be stopped. >> we are now in single digits, folks. nine days now until the election and as the race for the white house enters its final act this weekend, hillary clinton, donald trump sharing the spotlight with fbi director james comey. >> his decision, of course, to notify congress on friday of newly discovered e-mails potentially related to the investigation into hillary clinton's private server. that is shaking the campaign with just, as victor said, single digit days here until this election. hillary clinton calling the probe unprecedented and donald

trump offering some kinder words for the fbi director. >> i respect the fact that director comey was able to come back after what he did. i respect that very much. and when the other side is complaining and complaining and complaining, there was no reason for it because all of the crimes that were committed, something should have happened then. >> in florida last night, hillary clinton getting a boost of star power and marc anthony, jennifer lopez on stage there warming up the crowd for clinton to help the get out the vote at the event there. she did not mention the fbi investigation. instead, she urged supporters to stay enthusiastic. >> no matter how low our opponents go, we go high! and no matter what they throw at

us, we don't back down. not now, not ever. >> we are getting an idea of what went on inside the department of justice between top d.o.j. officials and fbi director james comey before he sent the letter on friday. >> evan perez has that for us this morning. evan, good morning. >> reporter: christikristie, vi the department of justice wrestled with newly uncovered e-mails. fbi director jim comey told his bosses that he plans to tell congress about the newly found e-mails. attorney general loretta lynch and others at the justice department opposed the plan. they believed it violated the policy to not comment on politically sensitive investigations so close to an investigation. lynch's staff relayed that

message to comey. he told his employees in an internal memo, quote, i feel an obligation to do so given that i testified repeatedly in months that our investigation was completed. i also think it would be misleading to the american people were we not to supplement the record. officials at the justice department think comey should have allowed investigators to determine the importance of the e-mails. the fbi officials believe they would be accused of covering up for clinton if they held onto the information until after the election. comey's three paragraph letter to congress left many unanswered questions. now comey is facing pressure from the clinton campaign and the republicans to provide more information. the fbi is only beginning the process to review the e-mails. they still don't know whether the e-mails contain classified information or whether some of the e-mails may be duplicates from some that they've reviewed. >> evan perez, thank you so

much. in the mean time, clinton campaign demanding the fbi come forward with all it knows immediately. take a listen. >> director comey was the one who wrote a letter that was light on facts, heavy on innuendo knowing full well what republicans in congress would do with it. it's now up to him who owes the public answers to the questions that are now on the table. >> errol lewis, what is the likelihood that you believe that information will, indeed, be released before this election? >> reporter: well, as a journalist, who wants as much information as possible, hope springs eternal that we will somehow get this in the next nine days. i strongly, strongly doubt that. i mean, the description of what they have, thousands of e-mails, that now have to be investigated because of their potential impact on this much broader

conversation that's been going on for about a year, i find it hard that they get that done within matter of an hours? in 100 hours or so. assuming that they could. perhaps we could get this all behind us but, no, i think we know all we're going to know. you have to keep in mind, christi, every day is election day with early voting going on in 30 odd states. people have to make their decision based on the little information we have now before director comey does whatever it is he's going to do. >> i want to talk about the early voting numbers as well because they're big. 18.6 million we're understanding people have already voted. 9.7 million of those in battleground states. there are positive signs for the democrats in colorado, north carolina, nevada. and republicans in ohio and iowa.

the dems are ahead in iowa by 39,000 votes, but when you compare that to how much they were ahead back in 2012, they were ahead by 50,000 votes. flip it around to the republicans, in arizona the republicans are ahead by 34,000 votes but they were ahead by 62,000 back in 2012. so what does that tell you about not just the people who are voting early but the over all voter turnout, which is a concern for both of these campaigns? >> reporter: well, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. one is we don't know really because someone is a registered democrat or republican, that they're going to vote with their party. we know that tends to be the case, but this has been a very unusual election year. >> exactly. >> the other thing to keep in mind, christi, democrats do well in a state like north carolina with the early vote. they were far ahead with the early vote four years ago but then they lost the state. it's not always all about piling

up a big lead if that lead is not enough to sustain you through what happened on election day. i guess finally this is really all about organization, who's got a field team on the ground, who knows how to go and get people out and walk them to the polls and the democrats definitely have an advantage there in many, many states. a lot of different factors going into it but, yeah, as you said, the democrats seem to have an edge. they always do in a lot of these states. >> in a lot of these states, okay. i want to real quickly talk about this letter that was sent to four top senate democrats who are demanding more information from the d.o.j. and the fbi now. this is another letter in which they write, this letter is troubling, referring to the initial letter that comey sent to congress. they say this letter is troubling because it's vaguely worded. it leaves so many questions unanswered. it breaks with the d.o.j. and fbi exercising extreme caution

leading up to an election so as not to unfairly influence the results. do you think there will be any action taken against director comey? will there be a consequence of some sort for him knowing what we know now this morning, that loretta lynch and other folks in the justice department did not agree with this decision? >> reporter: keep in mind, nowhere in those stories does it say that loretta lynch was going to fire director comey because she can't do that. we appoint the fbi director for 10-year terms, specifically to take them out of politics. i think there's going to be a long discussion about one more institution that appears to be getting sucked into the partisan fray. we've seen it happen with the courts, we've seen accusations at the media, we've seen all of this talk about rigged elections. this has been a crisis of institutions throughout this campaign and to have one of the more respected institutions, namely the fbi dragged into it now at the last minute, really unfortunate. it will be the source of a lot

of conversation after this election is over. >> it will be very interesting to see if they do, indeed, scramble to make at least some information known to voters before election day. we're nine days away. errol louis, always appreciate your insight. thank you. >> reporter: thank you. for the first time democrats and republicans agree on something in this race. demanding answers from director comey regarding this e-mail review. we've got partisans weighing in. the panel is up next. later, we'll look at who james comey is. the fbi director behind the clinton e-mail investigation and the pressure he is under to provide answers. at least you didn't spend too much time making it. campbell's one dish recipes. made for real, real life.

are demanding more information from fbi director james comey about the clinton e-mail investigation because there is still so much that the public does not know. let's bring in a. scott boldin, former chair of the democratic national party and former lieutenant governor of new york. lieutenant governor, i want to start with you. still so many things here we do not know, answers we have not yet received. if the e-mails are significant, if they contain classified information, yahoo! news is reporting that agents have not obtained a warrant to view the e-mails. donald trump in colorado said this yesterday. >> folks, we're living in a third world country. this has never happened before. this has never happened before. this is the lowest point in terms of our judicial system. this is the lowest point in the

history of our country. remember that. >> he also said this, because that was the wrong sound bite. he said i respect comey's decision this time but he should have made the right decision before. lieutenant governor, we don't know if this is a bombshell or just a shell. what is he so excited about now without the answers? >> let me point out now that when he suggested that the justice system is rigged, it was very shocking to hear president obama say well before the fbi announced its conclusions in july that hillary clinton hadn't done anything wrong. and then allowing president clinton, hillary's husband, to go on that airplane with loretta lynch just days before the fbi was about to announce its conclusions and then a few days later for them to suggest loretta lynch may be her attorney general so, yes, it does appear to be very rigged. james comey is trying to do his

job. he told congress that he would not reopen the investigation despite many demands that he do so because he told congress on that date testifying that mrs. clinton had lied when she said she did not send classified information on her private server, but now obviously there is new information and he has an obligation to do his job and complete this investigation. >> he said -- >> it is not polite sized. >> he said the fbi would not have re-opened this case at this time if it was not a most egregious criminal offense. what evidence is there to support that? >> certainly he would not have reopened this without compelling evidence that he must continue the investigation. >> and re-open is a questionable term. but donald trump says most egregious criminal offense. again, i'm still waiting for evidence. >> there was certainly egregious criminal offenses because what came out before congress is mrs. clinton violated the law by using a private server, by

sending confidential information and receiving it on that server and by lying to congress about her doing so. >> okay. >> let me just point out -- >> let me point out here and i'll let you finish the sentence, hillary clinton said there was no criminal activity here. careless but not criminal. >> exactly. >> i've got to get to scott. >> he said there was no criminal intent. the statute doesn't require intent. i wanted to point out something very important to your listeners and viewers, and that is that in eight states voters who are having early voter remorse can actually change their vote. michigan, wisconsin, minnesota, pennsylvania, new york, connecticut, hawaii and louisiana. if you're in one of those states and you want to change your mind, the law allows you to change your mind. >> i want to stay on topic. >> there's a lot to respond to there. betsy and donald trump continue to say there was criminal conduct here and thank goodness

we have an fbi and d.o.j. investigation that said there was no criminal conduct. it may be been reckless conduct but no criminal conduct. i'm a former prosecutor, i've been a criminal defense lawyer, i've been on both sides. the reality is this investigation is not, quote, reopened. this is a separate investigation and all that was disclosed, that there were additional e-mails as part of a separate investigation that have come to light. that's all comey could say and do because the fbi hasn't even looked at this information. now that being said, people want more information. reality is you're not going to get more information because if comey and the fbi give you more information to the public, then they will continue to violate d.o.j. policy. he's violated it already, which is why i said all they've done is discovered these e-mails. it's not from her server, not her investigation, not anything else she's done. they're only looking at them. they're only looking at whether there is confidential or rather -- confidential -- >> classified. >> i'm sorry, classified

information in any of these e-mails that is not from her server. if they find it or they don't find it, that has nothing to do with hillary clinton and the republicans, let me be real clear, they love saying this, criminal conduct here. they make these pronouncements. you can say it over and over again, but that doesn't make it criminal and that doesn't make it right or wrong, it's just more pronouncements from them. dangerous political rhetoric. >> let me bring in another element here. the washington post is reporting huma abiden that was married to anthony weiner, she did not know or does not know how these e-mails got on to this computer. not that she doesn't believe they're relevant, not that she doesn't believe it's classified information, not that she doesn't believe these are original e-mails or duplicates, she doesn't know how they ended up there. does that not go directly to donald trump's narrative, that hillary clinton and by proxy here huma abiden were careless with this information? >> not necessarily. not necessarily at all.

she finds -- she signed a statement under penalty of perjury that she had disclosed all of the confidential information or classified information that she had and that she will protect it like any other government employee, and the fact that she had no knowledge of it and that they found this information or these e-mails as part of a separate investigation means absolutely nothing. it means nothing. >> it means nothing if these e-mails that may be pertinent -- >> they may not be pertinent. we do not know but if you listen to donald trump and betsy -- >> you're filibustering. >> they would have convicted her and huma. there's no evidence of that. >> 15 seconds, lieutenant governor. >> yes. mrs. clinton said she would provide all e-mails. again and again she has stone walled and failed to do it. now she is trying to make director comey the issue. she's the one who used the private server against the law and she is the one who has still failed to provide the e-mails. >> these are not her e-mails.

separate investigation. >> it is not. >> it isn't? wow, okay. >> it is, indeed, a separation investigation. >> indeed. >> no. he has reopened his investigation. >> just because you say it it doesn't make it true. over and over again it does not make it true and it's reckless for you to say it. >> we've got to wrap it and of course we'll continue the conversation. thank you both. chris christie's reputation on the line as they confess input to plot causing a traffic jam. a jury is ready to decide. we're laying out both sides here. roller derby. ♪ now give up half of 'em. do i have to? this is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. but, if we start saving even just 1% more of our annual income... we could keep doing all the things we love. prudential. bring your challenges.

jurors in the new jersey bridgegate file could get the case tomorrow. two former allies of republican governor chris christie charged with closing lanes on the george washington bridge to punish a democratic mayor who didn't endorse christie. we have more on the closing arguments. >> reporter: they had influence and they have authority. that statement made by federal prosecutors in closing arguments friday in the trial of former port authority executive bill haroney and chris christie's former deputy chief of staff bridgette kelly. the two on trial for corruption related to the 2013 george washington bridge lane closures, better known as bridgegate. the sixth week of the trial ended with both prosecutors and baroney's attorneys making closing statements.

they say they knew that a major lane crossing closure would cause gridlock. the lane closures were an act of political retaliation against the new jersey mayor who did not endorse christie in his re-election bid for governor. the defense, however, denied the allegation and said they were part of a legitimate traffic study. the scandal has dogged christie and arguably impacted his race for the presidency in 2016. >> when i heard about the bridge scandal i was beyond horrified. >> reporter: and throughout the trial his credibility has come into question as former members of his staff and those involved with the port authority testified. however, a spokesman for christie still maintains the governor had no knowledge that lane closures were part of the traffic study, something the governor has said since january 2014. the key prosecution witness is a former port authority director, david wildsteen. he pled guilty to his role in

the plot to close lanes and snarl traffic and negotiated a plea deal in which he testified against his alleged co-con spiritors. baroney's defense used its time to say nothing wildsteen said was credible and baroney believed what happened was part of a traffic study. kelly's side will explain her side and deliberations will begin. top democrats are joining the clinton campaign demanding more information from the fbi director and questioning his release to the public this close to the election. ♪

saying new evidence is being reviewed. we are now learning more about inner turmoil as well leading up to this decision to go public. justice department officials, including attorney general loretta lynch, apparently disagreed with comey's decision to release that letter saying any news on the investigation would be against department policy to not comment on investigations, quote, to an election. now when fbi director james comey decided to announce this new review of e-mails possibly linked to hillary clinton's private server, he put the spotlight at the end of the day squarely on himself. >> there are still questions of some people just coming into the race wondering about this top man at the fbi. who is james comey. here is a closer look. >> i, state your name. >> i, james b. comey -- >> james comey became the seventh director of the fbi in 2013 at the beginning of --

years before that he became at the justice department under george w. bush. he was a registered republican. in the past he donated to both the mitt romney campaign in 2012 and john mccain campaign in 2008. he also served as a counsel on the whitewater committee back in 1996. his reputation for bipartisan fairness has long been known. >> mr. jim comey. >> reporter: comey took over the fbi director's spot from bob muller, this is what he had to say. >> i had the opportunity to work with jim for a number of years in the department of justice and i have found him to be a man of honesty, dedication and integrity. >> reporter: comey gained a degree of fame for his role in one of the most dramatic incidents during george w. bush's in the white house. comey's boss john ashcroft was gravely ill in the hospital.

two aides tried to get him to endorse a warrantless eavesdropping program. comey was acting attorney general. when he found out about the plan he rushed to the hospital and stopped it. >> i was very upset. i was angry. i thought i just witnessed an effort to take advantage of a very sick man. >> reporter: the eavesdropping program was not endorsed. as a federal prosecutor, comey dealt with the terrorist case of the cbart bombing case in saudi arabia that killed 19 service members. he prosecuted 19 members of the mafia. >> we are here to announce the unceiling of three separate indictments against 14 members and associates of the gambino family. >> martha stewart is being prosecuted not because of who she is but because of what she did. >> reporter: back in july donald trump tweeted, the system is rigged after comey's statement

regarding hillary clinton. >> we are expressing to justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case. >> reporter: today as this news continues to develop, trump said this. >> it might not be as rigged as i thought, right? right? the fbi, i think they're going to right the ship, folks. i think they're going to right the ship. >> reporter: gary tuckman, cnn, atlanta. >> back to our political panel, a. scott boldin and donald trump supporter and former lieutenant governor of new york, thank you both for sticking around with us. i want to get around to you as we heard that news from -- or that statement from donald trump. lieutenant governor, he seems to be intimating that director comey is now making up for past mistakes. is that really the message that

he wants to send, that the republicans want to send at this point? >> well, i don't think the issue should be james comey's behavior. he has clearly been presented with new information and he's doing his best to provide justice. it's indisputable that the president put a lot of pressure on the fbi by declaring before their investigation was complete that mrs. clinton was innocent and, of course, i've already discussed the behavior of the attorney general. he in the face of all of that is trying to do the right thing, but i would say that this is the really big issue. if mrs. clinton is elected, she will be the first woman president and she will also be the first president in the 21st century to be impeached. she is facing investigations by the house regarding perjury and obstruction of justice. now the ongoing look at her

e-mails by the fbi but plmrs. clinton is going to bring to the white house an attitude that she is above the law. for example, just yesterday in the new york post it was reported she's in trouble with the chappaqua, new york, authorities because she's rebuilding oren know vating her house without getting any permits. >> i'd like to stay on subject here. say your thoughts. >> americans should ask themselves, do they want our nation embroiled and incapacitated by this kind of scandal and investigation and corruption and legal turmoil for four years while mrs. clinton is in the white house? >> just to clarify here, when we talk about what's happening right now, director comey wrote in his letters that these are e-mails that appear pertinent to the investigation. these are e-mails sent and received by huma abiden, not by hillary clinton herself. so we need to be very clear about what we're talking about in what has been released since

friday. and also him saying that the fbi cannot yet assess whether or not this material may even be significant. a. scott bold din, regardless of whether or not it is significant, it's out there. what is the damage control strategy for hillary clinton now, especially if they do not get anymore information as they have demanded from the fbi? >> well, we're going to continue to point out how inaccurate and how inappropriately the republicans and donald trump have been using this letter that absolutely says nothing other than they discovered other e-mails on another server in a separate investigation. you have to do that with trump supporters and with donald trump because you can see how they have completely polite sized the fbi, how mr. comey has put himself in the middle of a political process whereby while he may have a strong reputation for independence and honesty, he's politically tone deaf. now that he's sent this letter you see republicans and democrats responding. once the cat is out of the bag, maybe he releases something or tells more information.

the problem is, he can't because he doesn't know what the e-mails say. the republicans, if i may, are now using the fbi as their investigatory arm for their political purposes ten days before. mr. comey had to know what he was doing and how he was doing it to protect himself personally. that's highly inappropriate and very problematic for this election. >> there's been a letter sent from four senators to attorney general lynch and to director comey. we request that you provide us with more detailed information about the investigative steps that are being taken, the number of e-mails involved. what's being done to determine how many of the e-mails are duplicative? they go on to say that director comey's letter has been misunderstood, that it has already been used for political purposes as we're seeing, and it is not clear whether fbi agents have in their possession these e-mails nor whether they've been able to review them.

so with that said, i'm just wondering, lieutenant governor, how does donald trump make his case that hillary clinton has donnie wrongdoing when this does not have to do as far as we can see with hillary clinton personally or the fact that they may not even have in their possession these e-mails? >> well, let me first under score that hillary clinton is responsible for the actions of her staff, especially huma abiden who has been by her side for many years. and as donald trump pointed out very early on, it was extremely careless and dangerous for her to allow staff members, including mrs. abiden or mrs. weiner to use thighs private devices and fail to provide them to law enforcement and congress when asked to and to allow what could be very confidential, classified government information to fall into the hands of a sexual pervert who

can be easily black mailed. >> oh, my goodness gracious. >> weiner gave -- put the nation at risk. >> i have ten seconds. i have to -- i have ten seconds. i have to give mr. boldin a chance to respond to quickly. >> there's a lot to respond to. the bottom line is this server was not huma abiden's server. hillary clinton can't be responsible for that. look for the senators or the ones who wrote that letter to take some action monday possibly even putting forth -- even having hearings and calling comey to the front of a senate committee to even look at this. my goodness, this campaign has gotten even crazier, and that would be a first. >> there's a lot of scrambling to do with nine days left before this election and a lot of people yet who have to go to the polls wondering what they're going to do. >> this is why that the letter, the damage of the letter, because now it's going to -- that action is going to be a reaction, if you will. you could have hearings and

that's why the letter never should have been moved forward. >> the letter regarding the american people -- >> thank you both for being here. thank you so much. >> we'll see though if those committees are convened in eight days. >> yeah. >> doesn't seem like they will. >> that would be a lot of scrambling. the fight against isis, let's move on to this. it's causing thousands of women, children and the elderly to flood into mosul. cnn's arwa damon is in iraq. >> reporter: more reports of isis carrying executions inside mosul as forces attempt to encircle it on multiple directions saying they're making progress but sending more people fleeing for their lives. that's coming up next. ♪ ♪

i had so many thoughts once i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my wife... ...what we're building together... ...and could this happen again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? i spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... ...turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily...

and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

that can camp out in between our teeth, if we'll let it. use gum® brand. soft-picks®. proxabrush® cleaners. flossers and dental floss. gum® brand. the cleveland indians are just a single win away from their first world series championship in 68 years. >> andy scholes has more on this morning's bleacher report. >> hey, guys. cleveland went 52 years without winning any title and now they might get two in a span of four months. >> what a year for them. >> the cubs, maybe they are cursed. you have the billy goat, steve bart man. now they'll cringe whenever they hear cory kluber. he shut down the cubbies for the second time in the series. he took six innings giving up one run. did it all on short rest.

second baseman jason kitness for the indians. chicago native, grew up a cubs fan. he put the game away with a three-run home run. the last visiting player to hit a three-run homer at wrigley field, babe ruth. nice list to be on there for kitness. indians win 7-2. they're one win away from ending their 68 year drought. >> i think it's business as usual. i think we have to take tomorrow with the same approach we've taken every game to this point. i think that if we relax or take our foot off the gas peddle, that's just inviting them to get more momentum and come back into the series. >> they're not teams who you want to feel good about themselves. you want to put them away before they can feel that. >> indians can win it all tonight, game five first pitch will be a little after 8:00 eastern at wrigley field. even if the cubs don't win the series, guys, i'm kind of pulling for them tonight. i wouldn't want them to lose all three at wrigley field and go

another who knows how long. >> i'm with you on that. thank you so much. we're back in a minute.
