good evening. just when you think it can't get weirder, a sexting investigation with anthony weiner and a newly related evidence connected to hillary clinton's e-mails. it's linked to the disgrace of a former congressman. more on our countdown series "in the final 30." >> we have not been contacted by anyone. the first we knew about it is i assume when you knew about it. >> an october surprise no one saw coming. >> we're about to leave to head to the airport, her campaign says we're going to take you guys first to this room. we walk in the room, there's a podium and all of a sudden there's a press conference.
12:46 am
>> 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. >> reporter: the fbi announcing they are once again investigating secretary clinton's use of a private e-mail server. >> a bombshell so close to the end of an election, we've never seen anything like it. >> this is a new breed of october surprise. it comes from the fbi and it comes in the middle of voting. more than 18 million people have already cast ballots. millions more are doing so every day between now and election day itself. this just lands plop in the middle of this very volatile election season. >> trump pounced immediately. >> we must not let her take her criminal scheme into the oval office. >> it was like an explosion. you couldn't even hear what he
12:47 am
was saying in the room. the crowd was on every single word. >> reporter: huma aberdeen and her husband anthony weiner was involved in a sexting scandal. >> huma aberdeen was another person on that private server. >> fbi director comey in a bombshell letter writing they will determine whether they include classified information. >> woo don't know exactly what's on the e-mails. in order for the fbi to do an about face here and say we've decided now to charge hillary clinton, a, you would have to have evidence from these e-mails that hillary clinton mishandled classified information, not huma
12:48 am
aberdeen, and, number two, that she intentionally mishandled it. >> reporter: the fbi's shocker coming just 11 days before the election. the day began like any other on board the campaign plane, clinton seen chatting with her top advisers, including huma aberdeen, unaware of the tidal wave about to hit. >> the polls are going to tighten. >> reporter: but while team clinton is in the air, the explosive political news breaking on the ground below. >> breaking news that the fbi has reopened their investigation. >> into hillary clinton's. male e-mails. >> why now? >> even trump's campaign manager learning the news in realtime. >> that's extraordinary news. the americans deserve to know everything. >> but the clinton team remained in the dark. >> we just got off the plane. there was no wifi in the air. staffers were completely shocked.
12:49 am
>> secretary clinton, any reaction? >> secretary clinton, any reaction to director comey reopening his investigation into your e-mails? >> donald trump supporters have another reason not to show up to vote for hillary clinton. >> her number one person, huma aberdeen, is married to anthony weiner, who is a sleaze ball and a pervert. i don't like huma going home at night and telling anthony weiner all of these secrets, okay? >> anthony weiner, of course the disgraced former congressman with the proclivity for sexting. >> today i'm announcing my resignation from congress. >> bye-bye, pervert! >> reporter: after his first public fall from grace, a comeback campaign with his wife by his side, an unlikely run for mayor of new york city chronicled in the documentary
12:50 am
"weiner." >> this is anthony weiner calling. >> reporter: but undone once again by more sexting, all while the cameras were rolling. >> it's almost too weird for words. if there are e-mails that emerge as part of the anthony weiner investigation that impact the presidential election, it's as if all of these political storylines come together as one combustible mess. >> reporter: the e-mails have dogged hillary clinton throughout the campaign. >> questions over a classified e-mail. >> the news about her use of a private e-mail first broke just one month before she announced her campaign for president. >> i'm getting ready to do something, too. i'm running for president. >> reporter: it was revealed that clinton had a private server as well. the state department under a court order released tens of thousands of e-mails, but turns out clinton didn't turn over everything and trump has used this as fuel during the debate.
12:51 am
>> the things that you should be apologizing for are the 33,000 e-mails that you deleted. >> reporter: the fbi investigation determining no crimes were permitted by clinton. >> no charges are appropriate in this case. >> reporter: trump repeatedly attacking the fbi for refusing to recommend charges against clinton. >> the fbi and the department of justice let clinton off the hook. we have to investigate the investigation, folks. >> reporter: but today -- >> i have great respect for the fact that the fbi and the department of justice are now willing to have the courage to write the horrible mistake that they made. >> reporter: late tonight, fbi director comey sent a letter to all his employees saying while he wouldn't ordinarily do this, he felt compelled because he testified this investigation was complete. he said we don't know the
12:52 am
significance of this newly discovered collection of e-mails and he admitted there is a significant risk of being misunderstood. >> i think this puts the fbi director in a unique and difficult position. given wa we know about how long it takes to complete fbi investigations, with 11 days to go, this is unlikely to be done by the election. >> reporter: tonight clinton doubling down in that press conference practically demanding more information and appearing confident that it will not hurt her chances on november 8. >> reporter: what would you say to a voter who will be seeing you and hearing what you're saying, saying i didn't trust her before, i don't trust her anymore right now and they're 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's exafactorred int
12:53 am
what they think. i would urge everybody to get out and urge everybody to get out in all the states who have early voting because i think americans want a president who can lead our country. >> when we come back, our confrontation not to be missed with a church leader, who is taug touting a miracle cure made with a kind of bleach. ♪ one smart choice leads to the next. ♪ the new 2017 ford fusion is here. it's the beauty of a well-made choice. ♪ try theraflu expressmax,nd flu hold you back now in new caplets. it's the only cold & flu caplet that has a maximum strength formula with a unique warming sensation you instantly feel. theraflu. for a powerful comeback. new expressmax caplets.

12:56 am
what are you going to do about people who want to be mean and all this bullying. tell me a little bit more about why that's on your mind. i have asthma and occasionally i've heard people talking behind my back. that was really brave. i really do think we need more love and kindness in our country. that's why it's important to stand up to bullies wherever they are, and why we shouldn't let anybody bully his way into the presidency. because that is not who we are as americans. i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message.

1:00 am
thousands. >> vulnerable, desperate people are always going to be targets for con men. if somebody swoops in with the miracle to your health problems, there's a huge motivation to believe them. >> reporter: to find out what's in this miracle cure, we ordered a shipment of mms, $150 for these small bottles. we took our miracle cure to a respected testing laboratory. and the results were as expected. nothing miraculous about it. essentially a kind of chlorine. >> mms is an industrial chemical. it's an industrial bleach. >> dr. paul wong is the senior vice president of you a tch speaks. >> the fact that anyone suggests you should give this to anybody is ridiculous. this is scary, dangerous stuff. the miracle cure, called mms, there is nothing miraculous about it. basically a form of chlorine. >> mms is an industrial chemical. it's an industrial bleach. >> reporter: in fact, look what happened when we poured some of

1:02 am
symptoms? >> diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and that increased in intensity. i felt her go slump and her eyes flipped up in her head and defocused. i think that's when she actually died, when her heart stopped. >> reporter: right there? >> right there. >> reporter: in your arms? >> in my arms. >> reporter: an autopsy could not determine the cause of sylvia nash's death. and the church denies mms played any role, to the outrage of her husband. >> mms did kill my wife. there's no question in my mind. >> reporter: in the wake of the death of sylvia nash, federal authority opened an investigation of the mms network, resulting in the conviction of one of the mms distributor, daniel smith, serving four years in prison for selling mms as a drug. >> he turned to profit and people were buying it it believing it was a drug. >> so calling it the sacrament
