tv   Shepard Smith Reporting  FOX News  October 28, 2016 12:00pm-1:01pm PDT

12:00 pm
election and make him president? right. yeah. well, we've got to be vigilant about this. this is not something to be made light of because there have been too many times in world history where somebody gets elected and then that's the last election that is held. so we have to not only stand up for whoever our candidates are, we have to stand up for the process of electing them, because that's how we lead ourselves. that's how we make decisions together. now, i really believe that people are responding to that, and look at what has already happened? more than 16-1/2 million people have already voted, and here in iowa, 370,000 people have cast their votes.
12:01 pm
one of those voters is ruline stein in des moines and she was bornin' 1913, before women had the right to vote. she is 103 now and is a pistol. she came to see me last time i was in des moines, which happened to be the first day of early voting, and she came to tell me she was on her way to cast her vote. she had her walker, she had some of her young family members there with her, but she was determined that she was going to vote, and vote early. so don't let anybody tell you they're too busy to vote. if she can do it, anybody can get to the polls. get to the early voting places. get to the mail box. cast your vote. i'm excited about what we're seeing across the country
12:02 pm
because i think people turn out because they want too be for a better future, a common vision, a dynamic america where everyone counts and everyone has a place, so let me just briefly talk about some of the issues that i think people care about because when you stop to think about it, every one of those issues is truly on the ballot. they may not be listed and might be my name hi and opponents name but they're on the ballot. here's one example. throughout this campaign, actually throughout his life, donald trump has demeaned and insulted women. we all heard the tape of him on the bus, bragging about what he did to women, and given his long track record of lewd and offensive comments about women, it was shocking but not surprising. and then one woman after another
12:03 pm
has come forward to say what he said on that tape is exactly what he did to me. now, how did donald trump respond in well, he started holding big rallies. broadcast on tv. he said he couldn't possibly have done those things because the women speaking out weren't attractive enough for him to have assaulted. he said, one woman, and i quote him, would not be my first choice. look at her. i don't think so. he even called the female journalist covering the story disgusting, which he has called other women as well. he is also on tape bragging to the radio personality, howard stern can that he would routinely barge into the dressing rooms of beauty pageant
12:04 pm
contestants while they were undressed to, quote, inspect the women. that was his word. he was inspecting them. i sort of get away with that, he said. and maybe the most alarming part of what he said is that he admitted he did it with teenaged contestants. can you imagine? this is a man who relishes making women feel terrible about themselves. in every possible way. someone who thinks belittling and objectifying women make him a bigger man help goes after dignity and self-worth of women. and i don't think there's a woman anywhere who doesn't know what that feels like. so this is who donald trump its. this is how he speaks, how he thinks, what he does. now it's time for all of us to
12:05 pm
stand up and say, this is not who we are. we are better than that. we are americans. >> hillary, hillary, hillary, hillary, hillary, hillary, hillary, hillary, hillary, hillary. hillary. >> so i have too say, it's no surprise that every policy he talks about reflects the same disrespect. even contempt, for women. so make no mistake, women's health and rights, our future, the futures of our daughters and granddaughters, are on the ballot. we were reminded of that in the last debate when he pledged to overdwayne wade -- pledged to overturn roe v. wade, and to
12:06 pm
wipe away the health care services that women get for cancer screen examination so many other necessary health, and i just have to say, we have come too far to let donald trump take us back, haven't we? and i fight for women's issues not just because i'm a woman but because i believe these are american issues. again, remember, those 112 countries i visited? i saw in many of them the way women were treated. how they were marginalized and sidelined. how they were not guaranteed an education, healthcare, an opportunity to pursue their own dreams and ambitions. i think we have to continue to set the example that if you believe everyone in this country deserves an opportunity to go as
12:07 pm
far as their talent and hard work will take them, that includes both men and women and every one of us should be committed to that goal. well -- hillary, hillary, hillary, hillary, hillary. >> you know, i started saying all this way back in the campaign, months and mons along and donald trump would say i was playing the woman card. remember that? i say if standing occupy for women's health and women's rights is playing the woman card, then deal me in. but we also have to make the economy work for everyone, not just those at the top. men and women. the young, the old, everybody should have an economic opportunity to go as far as they
12:08 pm
can, because i believe when the middle class thrives, america thrives and we're going to fight hard to make the biggest investment in new jobs since world war ii. investments in infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, technology, innovation, small businesses, which are the real heartbeat of any economy where those of the new jobs come from and we'll invest in clean, renewable energy to create millions of new jobs in that field. we are going to make america the clean energy super power of the 2,021st -- 21st century with your help. and i go around bragging about iowa because you already get a toward of your electricity from clean energy. mostly wind, right? so we know we can do this op on a national basis, and we also have to make the economy fairer.
12:09 pm
that means raising the national minimum wage. so if you work full time, you're not mired in poverty. it means finally guaranteeing equal pay for equal women's work. and it means have affordable childcare and paid family leave because families are under so much stress today, and i met so many, so many young family members, moms and dads, that i traveled across and i keep meeting people who are really under tremendous pressure. tame kaine and i were in pittsburgh last week and tim was talking to a big group of folks and one of the women was holding a three-year-old daughter tim said, as we do what a beautiful little girl, and the woman said i came here to tell you and to tell hillary clinton that right after i had my baby, i got fired from my job because i had a
12:10 pm
tough pregnancy and a tough labor and delivery and i couldn't come right back to work can so they fired me. i tell you, if we say we care about children and family value don't you think we ought to have paid family leave and actually prove we do? and you have heard me say before, we're going to have universal prekindergarten because we need to start our kids off with the best possible educational beginning. we'll have good teachers and good schools in every zip code in iowa and across america. and i'm very proud of the campaign that center sanders and i ran. a campaign about issues and ideas, not insults, right? and when it finished he and i got together and we have a plan to make public colleges and universities tuition-free for families making less than
12:11 pm
$125,000 a year. that is the virginia vast majority of families but if you're over that number we'll make it debt-free so you pay what you can afford but you don't go into debt, and no matter where you go to college, we are going to make it easier and quicker for you to refinance, pay back, and end your student debt. [applause] i think it's time too support teachers and students, so detroit to put a world class education within reach for everyone, and we are also going to make sure that we have a tax system that is fair. you know what that means? nobody making less than $250,000 a year will have your taxes raised one bit. i have method that pledge and i'm going to carry through with
12:12 pm
that pledge. but we're going to tax millionaires and billionaires and corporations because they're not paying their fair share. and you can hear it when trump talks about what he wants to do he says, he wants to cut trillions -- that's with a t -- trillions of dollars in taxes from millionaires, billionaires and corporations. man, that is trickle down economics on steroids. that is the worst idea. we need to build the economy from the middle out and the bottom up. that is what is going to get us growing and providing more jobs and opportunities. and it's especially ironic coming from a guy who didn't pay any federal income taxes. right? back in the '90s he lost a billion dollars. he says that makes him smart.
12:13 pm
look, i just don't know how smart you have to be to lose a billion dollars in one year running casinos. but i've never met somebody who lost money running casinos because with casinos, the house always wins. right? so he calls himself smart. his supporters call him a genius. well, guess you have to be a jeanous to lose a billion dollars in a year. but here's what is important. every one of us, every one of us who has worked, gotten a paycheck, we've paid more in income tax to support our military, our vets, pehl grants for students, health care, highways, education, agriculture, than donald trump. and i think that tells you everything you need to know about him. this is donald trump to a t. he is the poster boy for bad business behavior. his companies denied housing to
12:14 pm
african-americans because of they're race. he made most of his products in other countries, not the united states. he bought chinese steel and instead of american steel to build his hotels if stiffed mall businesses and i've met these people. i mean, my dad was a small business man and i know how hard he worked. and i've met people who had a contract with donald trump. they thought they'd died and gone to heap. so excited. so they supplied pianos to his hotel and installed marble or glass, installed drapery fabrics. they worked hard and then it came time to be paid and he stiffed them. he wouldn't pay them. and honestly, it just made me very happy that my father never had a contract from donald trump because when you work that hard, you deserve to be paid. for the work and the services
12:15 pm
and the products you provide. so my friends, here's the bottom line. we all need to think about whatever issue is most important and visualize that on the ballot. and then compare, compare and contrast, what i've done for the last 30 years, with what he's done. what i have produced for people to improve their lives and what he has done. what i will do as your president, if given the chance to serve, and what he will do. think about every single concern you've got, think about your kids and your grandkids, and what you'll tell them, about how you voted, because i want you to join me in voting for a better america. and here in iowa, it's really easy. you can vote today or tomorrow at the auditor's office or next
12:16 pm
week at libraries you. can get a flier as you leave from our organizers telling you the details. you can go to "i veil vote.com to confirm your polling place to make shoe sure you have a plan to vote. you can reach united states to people who are shut-ins and have trouble getting around and help them be able to vote. every phone call you make, every door you knock on, will help us make a difference in this election. so, please, go to hillaryclinton.com and signed up to volunteer, or take your phone out and text join to 47246. because here's one thing you know for sure. on january 20th, america will have a new president. and the real question is, what kind of change are we going to have? change is inevitable. it's up to us to determine how we're going to guide and shape
12:17 pm
that change. i personally don't think people, when they stop to consider it, want the kind of change donald trump is offering. going back to the days when insurance companies and wall street could write their own rules, which is what he says he wants to do. rolling back marriage equality and women's rights. abandoning our alliances and allowing more countries to get nuclear weapons. now, that's change, all right. but not the change we need. i have a very different vision. it's more positive, it's more unifying. i want us to be a country with good, high-paying jobs, in every community. where college is affordable. where hard working immigrants who pay taxes have a path to citizenship. where we respect each other. men and women. immigrants. african-americans, latinos,
12:18 pm
asias, everybody. that we recognize we are in this together. and where we lead with strength and intelligence in the world, working with our allies to fight and defeat terrorism, and stop the spread of nuclear weapons. so, change is coming. the choice is yours. as to what kind of country we will have. i want you to join me to build a stronger and fairer america. and i have made absolutely clear i will fight for you, i will work for you, i will make a difference, a positive difference, with results for you, we will have a future we can be proud of, and we will prove once and for all that love trumps hate. thank you. [cheers and applause]
12:19 pm
>> just another campaign rally, no mention at all of any of the new developments. not one word from secretary clinton. as she wraps up a rally in cedar rapids, iowa, she did not respond to the breakings news we're following now and it just took another turn. 11 days before the election, secretary clinton again finds herself at the center of a federal investigation over her e-mails. the fbi director james comey today wrote a letter to a group of congressional committee chairman saying that while the investigating an unrelated case, the feds discovered new e-mails that appear to be pertinent to the clinton case, and that they're working to find out whether they contain any classified information. director comey says it is not clear whether the new material is significant and he has not a explained its origin. we know very little about these e-mails except they're not from any computer hacker. instead they're from the device of another government official.
12:20 pm
and breaking right now, "the new york times" is reporting that they're from the investigation of new york congressman anthony weiner whose subsequent mayoral campaign cleans on news of him sexting with a woman who is not his wife. that weeper scandal is still developing and the investigation has expanded. whatever the case, director comey says hillary clinton is not the author of the e-mails, that they were not found on her private serve and that her campaign did not withhold them. all of that said, who did offer the ee-mails and received them and any information about their content has not been made public. hillary clinton repeatedly called the decision to use a private e-mail servery mistake, with his campaign losing ground, donald trump was thrilled by the development. he'll speak live shortly from med, but at another really in new hampshire, he quickly responded to the news. as a crowd chanted "lock her up," the republican standard bearer said, a great day for his campaign just got even better.
12:21 pm
there was more. and we'll play it for a you. director comey is facing bipartisan calls now to reveal more information about this case. critics say the letter to congressional leaders is too vague and it's important to hear more details especially so close to the election, the republican congressman says the news of the re-opened investigation came out of the blue. after all the case had been closed since july when director comey announced he would recommend no charges be filed against investigated clinton. >> there is evidence of potential violation the handling of classified inflammation our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. >> comey's original announcement of no charges left republicans expressing outrage. donald trump at the time said clinton jeopardized national security and the rigged system let her get away with. clinton staffers were happy this issue was finally over and done with so they could focus on the white house race. enough it's back. former doj spokesman matthew
12:22 pm
miller called the letter an inappropriate public disclosure, the latest in a long string of them so the big picture, what is this? in a nutshell, the fbi had a closed investigation. it received new information. now it will review that information. sounds simple. but 11 days before the election could it actually change the course of human events? ed henry is live in washington. anthony weiner's investigation? that was the origin. >> yes, just confirmed. fox news con firmed from an fbi source the new e-mails that me a may have clad information -- may have classified information were obtained by the fbi threw the investigation of an happy to weiner and that specifically it could be either from some of his electronic devices or his wife, huma abedin, they might have checked those devices accord ago to the source, since it is his wife clearly, and she is a top aide too hillary clinton, who is
12:23 pm
in the middle of wikileaks and all of these other document dumps we have seen. so forgive me while i continue to check my e-mail from the source. the source telling me that -- it squares with what i heard earlier from a former fbi official who had separately told me what happened with fbi investigations is that everyone assumed when james comey back in july said, i'm not a moving forward with charges, i don't believe, i'm not going to recommend criminal charges against hillary clinton, all of us may have assumed wrongly that the investigation was closed. they'd never officially closed it. it was still technically open as they wind it down. meanwhile, a former fbi official tells me there are dozens and dozens of other fbi investigations and investigations by local law enforcement that might touch the fbi that are ongoing all the time in this case, extremely bad luck for hillary clinton that anthony weiner got into more trouble and that investigation
12:24 pm
led to -- led the fbi to get in their possession e-mails that may have classified information. either from anthony weiner's device or huma abedin's device or both. so this could not happen any worse time for hillary clinton. you think about the unprecedented moments we have had in this campaign. and now we have had a moment that is even more impressive than the others. >> more details are coming out, as you might imagine, like every minute. "the new york times" just added to the reporting to say these new people e-mails were found after fbi seized documents becoming to huma abedin and her husband, anthony weiner. you were explaining who they are and giving context to this. it sounds like from the reporting of the "times" the author may have been huma abedin her long-able to aide. >> right i don't have that part of confirmed with the fbi. i will be transparent with the viewers bottom i have from an
12:25 pm
fib source that as part of an investigation of anthony weiner, the law enforcement officials were collecting some of his electronic devices, information that he had been sending, whether they be text, e-mails and whatnot, and i'm still checking mye-mail to get more information but they came across some information from human peninsula abedin i don't have the specific documents but the important part is that while they are separated right now, they're still married, obviously, and huma abedin you can't find a more senior aide to hillary clinton than huma abedin, by her side at all times and specifically ex-let's not forget and squashed score, huma abedin's investigate by the fbi in the original investigation, and separate to related to all this before i got into the studio i spoke to another law enforcement source who told me that while democrats are now saying, look, go through the e-mails, the new ones do this today or tomorrow oar get this done before the election, this law enforcement source said,
12:26 pm
hang on a second. even before we knew about huma abedin. they say they may have to go hack to cheryl mills. did you see this? they may have to interview human being again and now clearly based on the new information we got in the last 90 seconds they have to bring huma abedin back in clearly. so the idea this will be resolved in the next 24 to 48 hours good, lick with that. >> i'll say. hang with us. let's bring in judge andrew napolitano. in a nutshell, judge, what we have is there was a closed investigation, with a tech nick which closed or note the fbi director came to the decision to file no charges. then they got new information. now it's sort of re-opened. beyond that what do we have here. >> it's just too underscore what ed henry told us, it's extremely unlikely this would be resolved to the satisfaction of law enforcement before election day. remember, no grand jury was ever
12:27 pm
conveneed in clinton investigation. would be nearly impossible to convene one now and present sufficient evidence to it to get it to do something, eher to indict somebody or to agree there's insufficient evidence to indict anyone. so, what i see in all this, from the pipe with whom i have spoken and all this is buttressed by the great and last-minute and up to the minute information that ed just shared with all of us is that the fbi does not know the classified status of this just from looking at it, and it needs to share it with members of the intelligence community who will say, this is either confidential, the lowest level, secret, the mid-level, or top level. and it may by something that mrs. clinton sent to huma abedin and then she haired it with her husband which would not be anything that martinez clinton could be blame for. it could be something that contradicts what huma abedin or
12:28 pm
cheryl mills said to the fbi in their interviews with the fbi. so the fbi could be looking for potential charges of lying to the fbi, not against mrs. clinton -- >> now, now, what the fbi director says is he doesn't know if the matters are significant yet. they have to delve into them before they can know whether they're significants. >> correct. that's why i suggest people should not jump to conclusions that mrs. clinton is being reinvestigated for the failure to keep state secrets secret because it is apparent from those to whom i have spoken and from what our own colleagues have said on the air, the fbi does not know at first blush from its initial examination of these things what their security level is. >> if it turns out to be a big old thing and we don't learn about it until of the election i suppose the future president clinton could pardon herself? >> yes.
12:29 pm
yes, the president has the power to pardon him or herself. it's unusual, yes. >> i'm not a saying it's going to get to that. we don't know anything about this. all we know is that the fbi directyear sent a letter to congressional leader ands said we have in new e-mails and they appear to be pert inept to this investigation. -- pertinent to this relation and need to look it's. fbi directyear comb's previous statements were seen widely judged in a bipartisan matter as containing more information than would be normal in course of events and does this go even further in this disclosure of things that are murky and unknown? >> well, you know, this teases us because we're trying to figure out what the fbi is talking about, and the partisan people on here are saying lay it out on the table, don't understand this. this is a criminal investigation of anthony weiner. it would be a federal crime for
12:30 pm
anyone, an fbi agent or anyone in whose hands this information happened to fall, to reveal exactly what this is until the fbi decides what to do with anthony weiner. >> because his case was about, the accusations are that the was sexting with a minor and the charges against him could potential level be quite significant. >> well, yes, the charges against him could be very significant, but apparently, and this stuff is done below he radar. the fbi must have executed a search warrant either on anthony weiner's home or on the premises of the computer server for the company that he used, and seized his -- all of his computer records and in an examination of those computer records, came across something or things that appeared to have been classified and needed to be resolved, and may have originated with mrs. clinton in a perfectly innocent or in a surreptitious
12:31 pm
way. we don't know. and apparently the fbi doesn't know enough to tell us the significance of it at this point. the fbi is of course also governed by these statutes to which i just alluded, that prevent the revelation, the exposure, of criminal evidence before the government decided whether to use that evidence to a in a prosecution. >> ed henry, politically i can just imagine that both campaigns, one with elation and the other with dread, are really kind of reeling now. is that an overstatement? >> well, not an overstatement for the clinton camp. the bottom line is, they have been out there saying, let's not get complacent, this election is not in the bag. but that's not really true. they thought it was in the bag because how i know that is we learned earlier today before all this, it's now been knocked out by the -- but an extraordinary move, hillary clinton's campaign announced the next couple of
12:32 pm
days she's going to campaign herself in arizona, meaning they believe that for the first time, in a couple of decades, she had a chance to win republican arizona. those hopes are probably out the window. she may still win this race. but the idea that this is going to be auslandersslide they thought they had just 24, 48 hours ago, seems far, far away and you can look no further than donald trump. today in new hampshire -- that rally earlier where he walked in and said i have some breaking news from the fbi, that crowd was electric. he talked all the time about huge crowds and whatnot. sometimes they're examine it's rated -- exaggerated but it was electric, pictures and sound showed that. and suddenly run voters who have been disspiritted in recent days watch the polls, yes, they have been closing in the last couple of days but hillary clinton has still been in the lead. it narrow ted in the fox poll to three points but run republics have been very disspiritted also
12:33 pm
the idea that maybe human being had gone was marching to victory. all of a sudden that has been turned on its head. >> certainly left in question on the same day when "the new york times" had in its main political story today, that the large republican donors had abandoned him, he was abandoning himself with money, all of the money from the republican party is going to downballot rises. it -- it's. the many of the east coast states were going to be lost and i suppose all of that could still be the case but, ed, there's questions that did not exist prior to two hours ago. >> exactly. a new cloud over hillary clinton and any momentum she had, has been stopped. we can guarantee that. again, nobody knows where she is going too win or lose the race but any momentum she had coming out of the three debates has been stopped and there's a new cloud. keep thinking about vin scully when he retired, the baseball announcer, the homerun call he
12:34 pm
had with kirk gibson where he said in the year of the improbable, the impossible, when kirk gibson hid the home run on one leg, this has been an improbable election. now we see the impossible. >> we'll have to see what developments transfire -- transpire. you're a smart saver. you find ways to stretch your dollar. so why not compare your medicare part d plan with other options? call or go online now and see how aetna medicare rx saver could help you save. with a low monthly plan premium. access to over 60,000 pharmacies. plus $1 tier 1 generic medications

12:36 pm
yeah, then how'd i get this... ...allstate safe driving bonus check? ...only allstate sends you a bonus check for every six months you're accident free. silence. it's good to be in, good hands. the ememinvestigation the e-mail investigation is re-opened. they found new information that may be pertinent to the clinton case. they don't yet know, according to director comey, whether it's significant so they're going to look into it. 11 dayed before the election. if donald trump's camp was telling the truth when it said it had a three-proppinged strategy to suppress the vote, it would probably add a fourth prong. let bring in host chris wallace. this is -- i didn't expect this friday surprise. did you? >> no. and this is a big deal. first of all i think too nuanced
12:37 pm
and being somewhat cautious about saying that reopening the investigation. the whole reason we know about this is because james comey, the fbi director, congressional testimony, said that the investigation was complete and so we have to send a letter to the chairs and top democrats and all those committees amending his testimony because the investigation is no longer complete. that's reopening the investigation. secondly, you have got to know that james comey did not want to re-open this investigation. a month ago he was asked by a republican congressman on the house judiciary committee about all the information that hat come up since he closed the investigation in july and say why don't you re-open. the said that doesn't come close to reopening the investigation. so for him to do that now, just 11 days before the election -- i promise you he can read the calendar just like the rest of us -- this has to be substantial. not saying it's going to put it over the edge and result in a criminal case against hillary
12:38 pm
clinton, but this has to be substantial enough -- you know he didn't want to do this -- he had to in effect eat his words, go back to the committees and announce this investigation, fully aware of the bombshell effect this will have on the final week and a half of this campaign. >> do you have a sense for how much pressure on him to give voters and others more information, whatever he has? >> well, he -- it's interesting. i've got the letter here that he wrote to the committee and keep reading it because there's nuance after nuance you can find in this. and at one point he says, although the fbi cannot yet assess whether or not this material -- this new material they found decide these e-mails may be significant and i cannot predict how long it will take to complete this additional work, and the point there is, if you look at most fbi investigations, they take a long time. they don't clear the throat in 11 days and if this involves information -- he says one thing i have to ascertain is whether
12:39 pm
this new e-mail, that according to "the new york times" came from huma abedin and/or anthony wean are, whether or not there's classified information there and hey have to can go and check with the intel community, and the various agencies responsible for this information in the first place. i would have to think it's highly unlikely this will be resolved before election day, which raises the possibility that millions of americans going to go to the polls -- they're going to the polls rights now bit going to polls own the next 11 days, up to and including election day, notice knowing whether or not there's going to be a criminal case against hillary clinton. >> it is sort of i sounding. you -- astounding. we found out already from the reporting of the "new york times" that this is from the anthony weiner case. that matter leaked out pretty quickly. wonder if more context is going to come to us in this sort of behind the scenes way they couldn't really release in written notification because of the fact that the weiner case is open and it's criminal.
12:40 pm
>> well, we don't know. i would think that the release of these e-mails and what impact they have -- you raise a good question. the the might not involve hillary clinton. it could involve huma abedin. did she have classified information in an unsecure -- insecure e-mail setting. has she sharing if with anthony weiner, awful kinds of speculation. i've got to think that given the fact that they were talking about this in terms of the clintoned a vs., not the huma abedin investigation, that this does involve or at least questions are going to be raised about hillary clinton's criminal liability in all of these things, whether or not this touches her-0 doesn't touch her. >> how close was -- huma abedin, she had been a part of this investigation from the beginning because of correspondence or do
12:41 pm
i have two are stores mixed up. >> she was on hillary clinton's private server. huma abedin was in terms of personal relationships -- actual physical proximate sim tim, human beings' closest aide whale she was secretary of state and in this campaign so close he has been called hillary clinton's second daughter, is almost a member of the family. and in all of the e-mails we have seen in wikileakss the point of contact statistic you never see hillary clinton sending e-mails but the point of contact is huma abedin. she is as close as you can get to hillary clinton. >> bill and hillary clinton hosted anthony weiner and huma abedin's wedding reception at their home in chappaqua. bill and hillary clinton greeted everyone and spoke of her lovingly as a second daughter. has been widely seen as the
12:42 pm
closest person to hillary clinton throughout most of her professional life. right, chris? >> well, certainly in recent years. just think about this. in this election which has been so crazy, to unprecedented, and so many ways we have an fbi investigation about sexting texts that an happy to weiner may or may not have sent to an young end girl fib is investigating that and apparently comes across information they feel is so important so significant they have to re-open the hillary clinton e-mail investigation 11 days before she possibly could be elected the next president of the united states. you couldn't write that kind of a script in terms of the marriaging of all different kinds of elements. savory and unsavory, and involving the highest stakes in american politics. it's quite extraordinary. >> it is, breaking it down for
12:43 pm
you on "fox news sunday." we talkative donald trump's running mate, mike pence and the california congressman devin nunez and the chairman of the house intelligence committee, that's this sunday and i'm guessing this new matter will come up as well. time for some rundown changes, i bet. >> well, we have already blown up the show. i suspect it will get blown up again. we got the tnt ready to go. >> give jessica a big kiss. see you this sun on "fox news sunday." >> jennifer griffin in des moines, iowa. what kind of feedback are are you getting. >> ey understand from the campaign a paper statement from the campaign about the fbi investigation is coming soon. it will not be from hillary clinton herself. it's important to point out that huma abedin is traveling with hillary clinton in fact she traveled anytime hilary travels
12:44 pm
and they sit in a separate come part in the plane, even separated from her senior aides so nobody closer to hillary clinton than huma abedin, and of course, "the new york times" is reporting that the new revelations come as a result of electronic devices belonging to huma abedin that were seized as part of the anthony weiner case. we're trying to confirm that fact but that is situation law enforcement sources told the i "new york times." also important to remind pipe that huma abedin was questioned with the fbi and is she is found to have lied to the fbi, about classified information, and if it's found on those devices, that have now been seizes by the fbi, then she could be in hot water. this could be as much about huma abedin as it is about hillary clinton. there's been strong pushback from surrogates to the clinton campaign, clinton did not address it he was when she landed in cedar rapids never fact she exited the plane and the pool of reporterred. the pool reporters shouted
12:45 pm
questions and she just smiled and waved. >> jennifer griffin, thank you. calf cameron covers donald trump's camp and we go live to him next. you owned your car for four years. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends, three jobs... you're like nothing can replace brad. then liberty mutual calls... and you break into your happy dance.

hillary clinton's e-mail investigation is reopened and just moments ago we received a new statement from john podesta, the chairman of her campaign for presidency, and it reads as follows: upon completing this investigation more than three months ago, fib director comey declared no reasonable prosecutor would move forward with the case like this. and added that it was not even a close call. in the months since donald trump and his republican allies have been baselessly second-guessing the fbi in both public and private, browbeating career officials to revisit their conclusion in a desperate attachment to harm hillary clinton's presidential campaign. podesta goes on, fbi director comey should shoo immediately provide the american public more
12:49 pm
information than contained is in the letter. already we have seen characterizations that the fbi is reopening an investigation, but comey's words do not match that characterization. the director comey's letter refers to e-mail that have come to light in an unrelated case but we have no idea what the e-mails are and the director notes they might be significant. he goes on, it is extraordinary we would see something like this just 11 days from a presidential election. the director owes it to the american people to immediately provide a full details of what he is now examining. we are confident this will not produce any conclusions different from the one the fbi reached in july. the full text of that is being placed at foxnews.com where you can read it. carl cameron is live in cedar rapids, iowa. what's the thinking how this could upend things, carl? >> reporter: well, yet to be seen. from the trump campaign's perspective they think this is
12:50 pm
manna from heaven, gift. and obviously when you put it into the context of the last ten dives the campaign, and marry it with the speak in obamacare premiums and the endless streamm wikileakshawked podesta e-mailed it's a potent additional attack for trump to add to his closing arguments. "the new york times" and others reporting this is related to the anthony weiner investigation and both he and his wife, huma abedin, hillary clinton's top aide, and their devices were part of a separate investigation, suggesting that might have something to do with it. but it's very interesting to hear the clinton campaign say, bring it on. show us what you about the. that's what jay the chairman of the house government oversight committee said today and what mike pence said earlier today, that the fbi director should immediately explain what it is that they found so the american people can know before the
12:51 pm
investigation because for all intended and burns an investigation won't get finished in 11 days and the voters have a right to know. for the run republics to be making that demand makes sense. they think they smell blood. for the democrats to make that demand suggests they may have an idea what was on huma abedin and/or anthony weiner's devices that are part of this investigation. and it is fairly difficult to imagine how anthony weiner might have had any classified information unless he got it from his wife, and since huma abedin and hillary clinton are so close and as jennifer were reporting, they were seated next to each 0en at the plane you can bet in the staffer was grilled by the candidate what possible risks there could be in ore old devices and potential presence of national security information. even if this were a nothing burger is it not going to be that way until the election. the trump campaign will pound this and democrats are definitely on defense. hillary clinton's lead was shrinking and always does when we get to the last ten or 15 days.
12:52 pm
the polls always get tighter. pollsters get much more cautious. so, this is a huge development. when it's resolved and how it's resolved, will be after election day. whether it affects the resolution of election day, we'll know in 11 days. >> these calls for the release of whatever information they have might make sense on the surface but, carl, as you well know this is a serious criminal investigation that if found guilty could lead anthony weiner print for many years. that note the sort of investigation about which you can make knowledge public because it's all involved in that investigation. to do so would itself be a crime depending on how closely related it is to that case. so they really are kind of stuck here. >> reporter: but comey could -- the fib director could be a little bit more clear. it was -- that was a pretty oblique and -- opaque, should i say, announcement he made, and the word out of the justice department and out some at the
12:53 pm
fbi that's may not be the kind of catastrophic wound and injury to hillary clinton that republicans would hope for. that doesn't mean that donald trump can't turn it into one, however. this is polling ticks. not a just department investigation or an fib direct of investigation, this an american election and with the candidates poundings each other with insults it will be different from the way the fbi works and the justice department. >> stay with is, catherine herridge is here who is on the line with new insights. >> reporter: with mindsight now there are two of vents this week which suggest that there was going to be major development in the e-mail investigation. one of our law enforcement sources told us that thursday, a senior leadership meeting with fbi was schedule in quantico, virginia, and canceled at short
12:54 pm
notice and preprecipitously. we were also con tenanted by someone working with the fbi who indicated that new information had come to light in the case that had not been examined in the course of the original fbi investigation. so, in hindsight this now suggests they were ramping up for the announcement we had today. >> sounds like at least the way that their presenting it, this is a very simple case of, we had a case, we've gone through all of the information relate today that case, we decided that the case should not go forward, now we have more information. so we're going to look at that information. and if anything changes we'll let you know. except 11 days from an election. >> correct. >> it's a bit of a mess. >> reporter: i would say that you hear this term by closed case ." that means in fbi language that the case file is sitting on the
12:55 pm
shelf because for the fbi nosing ever really closed. they always have the option to reengage and re-initiate and in fact based on a conversation with two former fbi agents this afternoon, they emphasize to me it's not unusual to reopen a case if new evidence comps tolight. now, the caveat in that conversation was that you only reengage or re-open if you think there is sufficiented and the quality of the evidence is significant but has direct relevance to the investigation. >> yet, comey says he doesn't even know whether this matter is -- these matters are of significance yet. he said hi doesn't know yet. >> reporter: he says he doesn't know but you would not reengage an investigation on the basis of a handful of e-mail in a spam folder. okay? you would not do that. you would reengage when you think there's sufficient evidence and evidence that may
12:56 pm
in fact be relevant and this goes to the point of whether it contains classified information. so, this potentially is a case where there is classified information on the device of a party who was well outside the u.s. government. >> of a party well outside of the u.s. government. that -- other. >> reporter: the anthony weiner device. okay? if it showed up on that. right? so again, the issue of classified information is how far outside the secure channeled it went their argument in the e-mail investigation is that these were government people, exchanging information with her. they did not have an expectation or an intent to take classified information outside of that channel. if the device is weiner's device expats got classified information, this takes it well outside the scorch of state department business. >> catherine herridge, thank you. the initial word of this tanked the stock market. it since recovered.

(riley) hey it's a big bag. just have some of mine. (vo) try new beneful healthy weight with chicken. now with real chicken as the number one ingredient, healthful. flavorful. beneful.

welcome can everything, this is your your you and if this is an october surprise, the surprise is we don't know what it impact will be. we know the fbi director is kind of hinting that the case that was closed with hillary clinton and sort of disavowing any criminal culpability on her part over a private serve and whether private inflammation information passed. kind of closed but kind of re-opened on separate examination of separate e-mailed that were obviously important enough and pert inept enough for the fbi directyear, james comey, to give a big shoutout via letter to all key committee
