Discovered during an investigation into disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner sexting a 15yearold girl. The news is sending shock waves through this 2016 race. Lets get right to mark meridith. He is live in our newschannel8 dc bureau where the latest. Boy, twitter was blowing up as soon as this news came out today. Reporter keith, the chain of events we have been talking about today really are remarkable. And president ial politics has been kind of referred to it was the bus tape for donald trump. Now we know exactly what Hillary Clintons campaign is scrambling to deal with. It is these emails part of the fbi investigation that have been happening now more than a year. A lot of fast moving developments here. All of this coming on the heels as many voters get ready to make up their minds and many are already headed to the polls. It is a campaign bomb shell. Federal investigators telling congress it is reexamining its probe into Hillary Clinton mail server while she is served as secretary of state. Speaking moments after the news broke, donald trump seized the spotlight. Hillary clintons corruption is on a scale we have never seen before. Reporter the fbis decision could once again turn the 2016 race upside down. This summer, fbi director james comey publicly scolded clintons decision to maintain a private server but said had no evidence of criminal wrong doing. The fbi will not say what information they have found that would reverse their decision. However, republicans smelling blood in the water pounced. House Speaker Paul Ryan released a statement saying yet again Hillary Clinton has nobody else but herself to blame. She was entrusted with the nations most important secrets and betrayed that trust. That was a mistake. Reporter during the debates, clinton faced tough questions over the server and this investigation will continue. I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. Reporter one of the Big Questions Going Forward is what is this all going to mean for the voters headed to the ballot box and what can we really expect to learn between now and november 8 . 11 days and an fbi investigation can take weeks, months, years. So we are il interested in finding out what congress is going to do next. And what this could all mean for not just voters in florida, but across the country. Unlikely this will be resolved before the election. I saw Hillary Clinton at a rally. She didnt say anything about these developments with the press looking on. But within the past few minutes the campaign did release a statement. What have we learned about that . Reporter youre right. It was interesting whether or not she was going to Say Something when she came off the plane, when she landed in cedar rapids. She gave a stump speech. Regular routine. But her campaign put out a statement saying he wants the fbi to release more information. He says this is extraordinary that they would release these kinds of details or send this letter to congress with 11 days to go. I dont think i have ever seen anything like this where the Democratic Campaign is telling the fbi, please, please, please, give us more information. Give the American People more information because they dont want this cloud hovering over them the next 11 days. Clinton is sse lopez rally and a concert in miami. You have to wonder though, when will she have to address this with the press. More on this to come. Mark meridith live in our dc bureau.

I dont want people to fight over it. I dont want people to be avenging each other. Reporter the cousin of the family broke down crying when she saw the video but she says she does not want it to cause more pain than all of the families involved will already going through. At the end of the day, i just want people to just, you know, remind themselves, nobody deserves to die. Bad person. You dont deserve to die. Reporter troopers say the video showing the speeds of 115 miles an hour through a snap chat filter doesnt prove or disprove racing may have played a factor in that accident. It is all over. It is all over. I mean, it is everywhere. Reporter she understands the street racing culture though. Fueled, she says like movies like fast and furious. She says her husband used not since they had a child. Now, i wouldnt promote it. Probably then, i would be like oh, lets go to races. I wont promote it.

They tell me they have set up a go fund me page for the family for the funerals of the three people who passed away and for what will inevitably be some jen . Yeah rod.
