Now. Announcer from nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news, with letter holt. With 11 days to go, the head of the fbi dropped a bomb in the race for president this afternoon. One that has the Trump Campaign celebrating and the clinton camp scratching its head. Director james comey revealing that newly discovered emails have turned up that have fbi agents once again back on the trail of Hillary Clintons use of a private email server. The source of the emails is the other big surprise here. Nbc news has learned they didnt come from clintons server or even wikileaks, but rather were found on a computer belonging to anthony wiener. The estranged husband of clintons longtime aide houma abedin. And a target of a sexting investigation. Clinton came before the cameras to call on the fbi to immediately release all the information it has. Nbcs justice correspondent Pete Williams has late details. Reporter nearly four months after saying its investigation of Hillary Clintons email server was over and recommending no charges, fbi director james comey today said new emails have come to light. In a letter to congress, he said the emails surfaced in an unrelated case and quote appear to be pertinent to the investigation. He said the fbi cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant. And that agents will now determine whether the emails contain classified information. And evaluate their importance. Comey declined to say what the unrelated case is. But Law EnforcementOfficials Say the emails were found on a laptop computer belonging to former Anthony Weiner. His wife huma abedin is running the campaign. The fbi is investigating whether weiner broke the law. He was sending photos to an underage girl. Investigators used the abedin used laptop to email clinton. The official also said theres no indication so far that anyone was with holding evidence. Fbi Officials Say comey sent the letter today, out of an abundance of caution and that investigators have no idea whether the email would change his conclusion in july about whether her use of the private email server for classified information was a crime. Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Unless theres evidence that shows intent or shows withholding. Its hard to see that there would be a different result just because there are more classified emails that were sent by the same method. Reporter fbi are officials insist tonight the case is not being reopened. They say that the case had not been formally closed, largely because of pending freedom of information act issues. Comey said he felt obligated, though not legally required to send the letter today disclosing this new development after telling congress in july that the investigation of the private server was completed. Lester . And pete of course the campaigns, a lot of voters waiting to see how this plays out. Is there a timetable as to when they might have resolution . Reporter no. Comey says in the letter he doesnt know. And so far Officials Say investigators have no idea even whether these newly found emails actually contain classified information or not.

Weve got work to do. Reporter but no mention of the fbis announcement. Clinton responding late tonight. We are 11 days out from perhaps the most Important National election of our lifetime. Therefore, its imperative that the bureau explain this issue, in question whatever it is, without any delay. Ripe its an issue her team thought she had put behind her. I made a mistake using a private email. Thats for sure. Reporter and it comes after a rocky week days of headlines about hacked emails released by wikileaks, including a 2011 memo where a top aide to bill clinton describes what he called bill clinton, inc.

A reenergized donald trump took the stage in New Hampshire this afternoon. The fbi have discovered new emails pertaining to the former secretary of state Hillary Clintons investigation. Reporter after weeks down in the polls, todays fbi news came as a shot in the arm to trumps struggling campaign. This is bigger than watergate. Reporter trump, who has called the election rigged, the system corrupt and derided the fbis investigation, suddenly changed his tune. It might not be as rigged as i thought. Right . Right . Reporter the trump team hoping to regain momentum long saying Anthony Weiner would prove to be a problem for Hillary Clinton. Anthony weiner. Who is a sleaze ball and a pervert. Reporter the gop nominee is welcoming the distraction from a slew of headlines questioning his commitment in the final stretch. As the latest s. E. C. Report shows he only contributed 30,000 to his campaign this month. Trumps big cash promise made as recently as this afternoon.

Nbc news has learned from Campaign Sources this latest donation is intended for battleground state tv ads. Some muchneeded onair messaging, now with a renewed attack line. I dont know if it will change the race in his favor. It does i think put a pause to you know, maybe some of the Movement TowardsHillary Clinton. Reporter i just spoke to a source close to the campaign who tells me donald trump didnt mention Anthony Weiner at his last event because he wants to keep the focus on this negative headline for Hillary Clinton for a change and not his reaction to it. Well see if that strategy continues into tonight. Lester . Katie tur, thanks. Lets bring in our political director, moderator of meet the press, chuck todd. Chuck, i know were hours into this, but 11 days from the election, what are the potential political ramifications . You see it by watching the reaction and who jumped on this first and there wasnt a republican in washington, there wasnt a republican on the ballot that didnt jump on this news in a hurry. This week alone, i do think we may see this news added to the obamacare news, added to the foundation, all of it, giving republican candidates down the ballot, a closing argument. If its a president Hillary Clinton dont you want us to keep an eye on her. As a president ial, if it has an impact, we have to know more information. What is it . I have to say, i will be surprised if director comey thinks he can just let this sort of meatball hang out there for 11 days without providing more details. This is something that i think is going to bother a lot of voters. Forget you hear partisans on both sides being upset. You throw this out there, but not with a lot of details. What is it . What does it mean . I got to think the fbi cant let this wait until after the election. Chuck i know youll have a lot on meet the press on sunday. You know it. Emergency on the runway in chicago.
