Mrs. Clinton, have you or any of your advisers heard from comey or anyone else at the f. B. I. Today . And are you concerned at all that these new emails that they say theyve found will in any way reveal classified that you sent or received . No. We have not been contacted by first we knew about it is, i assume, when you knew about it, when this letter sent to republican members of the house was released. So we dont know the facts, which is why we are calling on the f. B. I. To release all the information that it has. Even director comey noted that this new information may not be significant. So lets get it out. Secretary clinton you have 11 days to go. What would you say to a voter who right now will be seeing you and hearing what youre saying saying, i didnt trust her before. I dont trust her anymore right now, and theyre heading to the ballot box tomorrow . , you know, i think people a long time ago made up their minds about the emails. I think thats factored in to what people think, and now theyre choosing a president. So i would urge everybody to get out and vote early in all the because i think americans want a president who can lead our country, who can get the economy working for everyone, not just those at the top, and who can bring our country together. I offer that. I can do that.

Director that thousands more emails have been discovered on a laptop that was shared by her abedin, and her husband, and now the f. B. I. Is looking to see whether there is classified information on those emails. There has been no determination on that yet. John dickerson, our cbs news political director, is with us now. John, Hillary Clinton said to the f. B. I. In that news conference, release what you have so well know what were talking about. Reporter thats right. There was some tension in her response. Insistent, quite urgent about getting all this information out that the f. B. I. Has for the American People. And that insistence, obviously, comes from the fact that there are 11 days until the election. But when asked what a voter should make of all of this, Hillary Clinton said she thought it was kind of already baked into their Decision Making and that they were going to decide on a whole other set of terms about who could be better for the country and a better president. But those two things are at odds. Obviously, they worry about what could have on people as they try to make their decision.
