This. Good evening. And we begin tonight with just eight days left until the election, nearly 24 million americans voting already. And tonight, the fbi right now searching through those newly discovered emails. The fbi director saying hes not sure if they will be significant or not. And because of that, fbi director james comey is under fire tonight. Many asking, why did he speak out without having seen the emails first . Discovered on Anthony Weiners laptop. He is huma husband, and she, of course, is Hillary Clintons long time aide. The new fbi spotlight comes amid our new tracking poll showing Hillary Clinton now down to a onepoint lead nationally. Tonight, the clinton camp furious with the fbi, asking why it would make this public with so few answers to offer to the american people. And with so few days left before the election. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas with reporter tonight, inside the fbi, dozens of cyber experts are pouring over thousands of emails belonging to huma abedin, Hillary Clintons top aide. The team, which previously investigated clintons private server, has pulled the hard drive from a laptop used by abedins estranged husband, anthony weiner, who is under investigation for an alleged sexting scandal with an underage girl. Weiners disgrace captured in this documentary. Why do you think you deserve this Second Chance . Reporter abedin seen today in this exclusive daily mail photo, now off the trail as the investigation intensifies. Abc news has learned the fbi has made a copy of the data from the hard drive and begun separating abedins emails from the hundreds of thousands that belonged to weiner. The focus is on abedins workrelated emails during clintons time as secretary of state, especially any that may have been sent to clintons private server. Agents plan to use computer programs to see if they can weed out duplicates from emails already studied by the fbi. Ill neither defend nor criticize what director comey has decided to communicate. To the public about this investigation. Reporter but the fbi director facing a barrage of criticism from the left and right for his decision to notify congress this close to the election. Comey has maintained it would have been wrong not to acknowledge the new development. But some democrats on capitol hill are calling on comey to resign. And today, former attorney general eric holder, and roughly 100 former senior St Department officials, including republicans, penned a letter saying they were astonished and perplexed by comeys actions. Even longtime trump allies like former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro criticizing the timing. 11 days before one of the most hotly contested president ial elections of our time, both disgraces and politicizes the fbi and is symptomatic of all that is wrong in washington. Congress friday, comey said that he wanted to determine whether the emails contained classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation into the clinton server. But in a separate later released later that day to fbi colleagues, comey described in more detail that given that we dont know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails, i dont want to create a misleading impression. But that only drew more fire. If you dont know, keep your mouth shut. Dont speculate. So, lets b thomas, who has been on this story since it broke on friday. And pierre, is there any chance we could hear from the fbi director again before this election, which, of course, is now just one week from tomorrow . Reporter david, comey is getting updates on the investigation and im told that if something definitive was found, he would consider making that public. But david, theres just so much material to sift through, no one knows whats going to happen. We really are in unchartered territory with the election just eight days away. Pierre thomas leading us off pierre, thank you. Hillary clinton, meantime, in the battleground of ohio, where early voting is already under way, telling voters, there is no case here. And they a now fighting to protect whatever firewall they might have in some of the key battlegrounds. Abcs cecilia vega in ohio. Reporter in ohio, where voting is already under way, tonight, Hillary Clinton trying to tackle the political firestorm engulfing her campaign. Im sure a lot of you may be asking what this new email story is about, and why in the world the fbi would decide to jump into an election with no evidence of any wrongdoing, with just days to go. Thats a good question. Reporter clinton putting on a defiant front. And i am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my emails for the last year. There is no case here. Reporter clintons team now counting on their get out the more than 23 million votes already cast. Democrats outpacing republicans in battlegrounds like North Carolina and nevada. But in allimportant florida, where Clinton Campaigned this weekend, it is republicans with a slight edge in early voting. Here in ohio, most clinton supporters we spoke to brushed off this new chapter in the email saga. If i say to you, Hillary Clinton and emails, you say i dont give a i dont believe it reporter you cant say the word you want to say. I dont care. Reporter does this make you reconsider your vote at all . Not at all. I am running against a man reporter clinton herself, trying to shift focus back on her opponent. When the election is over, and people wake up on november 9th, we will have picked the person who will carry the responsibility for all of these weighty decisions. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with and cecilia vega joins us tonight from cincinnati. And cecilia, youve been hearing that Hillary Clinton, and the campaign, will try to take this to donald trump in these final days. She wants to turn the focus back to trump. But even the Clinton Campaign knows that its going to be a tough task, given these new headlines about the email. Reporter they certainly do, but theyre not giving up. The very last thing they want to be talking about this close to election day is these emails. They are bringing in other heavy hitters to try to change the subject, too. President obam v biden will be out on the trail this week. David, you can imagine theyll be hitting donald trump, as well. Cecilia vega right there in ohio for us. Cecilia, thank you. The task for Donald Trumps campaign tonight, to keep him onmessage, and to keep the focus on these new headlines involving Hillary Clinton. But he still needs a sweep of many of the battlegrounds on election night, and some blue states, as well. Which explains why hes in michigan tonight. Abcs tom llamas is there, too. Reporter tonight, donald Hillary Clintons email server shifting the tide. The clinton crime spree ends on november 8th, its going to end on november 8th. Reporter trump even gloating over the recent developments. Thank you, anthony weiner. Reporter Trump Supporters here in michigan tell us there is a renewed enthusiasm within the Trump Campaign since the news broke of that new fbi inquiry. Absolutely, theyre totally energized. Now, the rest of the country is finding out what we already understood, shes a criminal, and she cant be allowed to move back into the oval office. Slammed the fbi, even saying this just hours before director comey upended the race on friday. But the system is rigged. I think the biggest rigging of all is whats happened with the fbi and the Justice Department with respect to Hillary Clinton. Reporter but now trump heaping praise on the fbi director. It took a lot of guts. But ill tell you what, what he did, he brought back his reputation. Reporter in these crucial final days, trump amplifying his ballots. Like, people say, oh, heres a ballot being, heres another ballot, throw it away. Oh, heres one i like, well keep that one. I have real problems. So, get your ballots in. Reporter over the weekend, word of an arrest for voter fraud. A woman in iowa who allegedly tried to vote twice. Turns out shes a trump supporter. She told iowa public radio she worried her first ballot would be tampered with. The polls are rigged, she said. And tom llamas with us tonight from michigan. And tom, more than 23 million americans have already voted, election day a week from tomorrow. And it is very clear from the Trump Campaign that they sense an opening here with these new headlines about Hillary Clinton and the emails. Reporter david, the sense out here on the campaign trail is that its the Fourth Quarter and donald trump feels like he has the ball back. Hes going to continue to hammer this email issue for the next seven days to remind voters in his opinion that Hillary Clinton cant be trusted. David . Tom llamas in michigan for us. Tom, thank you. So, lets get right to the map tonight, where things stand really what American Voters care about, which states favor donald trump, which states favor Hillary Clinton. Lets bring in Jonathan Karl who has been studying all of this. Theres no question, these new headlines do not help Hillary Clinton. But even so, for donald trump, he has a somewhat steep hill to climb here. Reporter a very steep climb to get to the 270 electoral votes he needs to win the presidency. So, look at the map. Weve rated every state, red states favor trump. Blue states favor Hillary Clinton. The gray states are pure tossups. So, what does trump need to do . Starting out west, he needs to win every single tossup. Utah and arizona, traditionally republican states. But then, david, he needs to win florida, North Carolina and ohio and even after that, if you look up top, hes still short at 270. Only at 259. Now he has to flip some blue here. Reporter yes. Now, the best chance for him is nevada, which has been quite close. But even if he wins nevada, hes at 265, still short. He has to win some other solidly blue state. Today, hes in michigan. That would do it for him, that poll since the convention has put trump in the lead in michigan. All right, jon, youre going to be spending a lot of time with that map in the coming days. And just eight days left until election day. A reminder, next tuesday night, election coverage begins, of course, with world news tonight and then 7 00 p. M.

Came via a text message by a passenger, other passengers did see the message and then the so, thats all i have so far. Reporter passengers were evacuated, leaving all of their bags behind. The passenger with the alleged text message and the man who reported it removed by sheriffs deputies and interviewed by the fbi. They ripped him out of the seat and dragged him off the plane.
