living a real-life buddy movie. >> i just care about mattie. >> to me he's like a brother. this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. glp today, the f.b.i. unexpectedly reopened its criminal investigation of hillary clinton's private e-mail servers. back in july, the justice department closed that investigation into whether classified information was passed on that unauthorized sy of state. the f.b.i. found a few classified e-mails at that time, and it called secretary clinton extremely careless, but the bureau concluded that she had no criminal intent. now today, we have learned that thousands of additional e-mails have been discovered on another electronic device. it is likely to be after the election before we know what, if anything is in them. nancy cordes begins our

investigation? >> reporter: the october surprise came in the form of a three-paragraph letter to congress from f.b.i. director james comey who wrote that agents on an unrelated case had learned of the exeftance of e-mails that appeared to be pertinent to the clinton investigation. sources tell cbs news that unrelated case involves former new york congressman anthony weiner, who allegedly sent sexually charged messages to a 15-year-old weiner is newly separated from clinton's longest serving aide, huma abedin, who was traveling with clinton today. devices confiscated from weiner and abedin may have been the source of those new clinton-related e-mails, which the f.b.i. director said must, "reviewed to determine whether they contain classified information." comey's lerpt blindsided clinton and her top aides who had been briefing reporters moments earlier.

early vote. >> reporter: paul ryan urged intelligence officials to suspend all classified briefings for secretary clinton until this matter is fully resolved. >> the f.b.i. is completing the investigation. >> reporter: comey closed the yearlong probe into clinton's use of a private server nearly four months ago. >> we did not find clear evidence that secretary clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information. >> reporter: clinton campaign chairman john podesta afternoon, "we have no idea what those new e-mails are. the director owes it to the american people to immediately provide the full details of what he is now examining." f.b.i. director comey said it's unclear if these materials are significant or not and warned that it could take longer than 11 days, scott, to determine that. >> pelley: 11 days to the election. now let's go to major garrett covering the trump campaign.

critical breaking news announcement. ( cheers ) >> reporter: donald trump broke the news about the reopened investigation to supporters in manchester, new hampshire, finding vindication in the f.b.i. move. >> this was a grave miscarriage of justice that the american people fully understood, and it is everybody's hope that it is about to be corrected. ( cheers ) >> repr: complimented the f.b.i.'s decision but only last night called its original probe into clinton's unsecured e-mail server deeply flawed. >> i think the biggest rigging is what happened with the f.b.i. and the justice department with respect to hillary clinton. >> reporter: the revelation that the new evidence come cans from the federal investigation into anthony weiner makes these comment from trump in july seem clairvoyant. >> i don't like huma going home at night and telling anthony

>> reporter: today's development couldn't come at a better time for trump, who has been falling in the polls since his own october surprise exactly three weeks ago, that video showing him making obscene, sexist comments about women. with pressure from big g.o.p. donors to put more of his own wealth on the line, trump today touted a new eight-digit donation. >> today i wrote another check for $10 million. i'm spending money like crazy. >> reporter: crazy is in the trump gave only $31,000 to his campaign in the first two weeks of october. but, scott, during that same period of time, trump's campaign, according to federal records, sent 10 times that amount to trump-owned properties as reimbursement to playing host to trump presidential campaign events. >> pelley: major garrett, thanks. now jeff pegues has more detail on the f.b.i.'s investigation. >> reporter: in his letter to members of congress, f.b.i.

investigative team briefed him yesterday on the new e-mails. sources say the messages could total in the thousands. >> good morning. >> reporter: before today tlooked like the case was over. on july 5, comey scolded clinton for using the private e-mail server, but the f.b.i. stopped short of recommending charges. >> there is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in secretary clinton's position or in the position of those with whom she was corresponding about those matters should have known that an unclassified system was >> reporter: about three months later, comey's statement was still drawing the ire of republicans. >> it looks to me like some things were done differently they don't recall being done back when i used to work there. >> i hope some day when this political craziness is over you will look back on this. because this is the f.b.i. you know and love. this was done by pros in the right way. that's the part i have no patience for. >> reporter: comey has held positions in both exprn

takes sides. but the typing of today's revelation has angered some former department of jfs employees. former spokesman matthew miller called the disclosure "inappropriate" on twitter and suggested that comey had broken a cardinal rule. the justice department goes out of its way to avoid publicly discussing investigations, miller said, especially close to an election. late today, we learned the e-mails were found on a laptop scott, comey has said high-profile investigations make him feel pressure to do things can critically and do it well. tonight his critics are wondering if he has failed on both counts. >> pelley: jeff pegues on the breaking news. thank you. let's go to our cbs news political director john dickerson, and, of course, the anchor of "face the nation." if hillary clinton doesn't know what is in the e-mails, how does she defend herself? >> reporter: you could hear

podesta's response to this. the way she defends herself will likely be the way she did in the third debate when difficult issues came up-- she pivoted to other issues quickly. and she did that to give voters some sense of what she was for, something to vote for, something to be excited about. she will remind voters what they don't like about donald trump. he will try to keep the revelation in addition want news if the new revelations don't work for him. and he will try to tie to his argument that hillary clinton incapable of changing washington. that's been his most effective message so far. >> pelley: now, 34 states have already been voting. there have been 18 million vote cast in the election already. what effect will this october surprise actually have? >> pelley. >> reporter: well it could lower enthusiasm for democrats in getting out but democrats i talked to said they already made up their mind about what they think about the e-mail server issue. if the story keeps donald trump
