the clinton administration, including the raid and the fight over elian gonzalez. >> first, presidential politics. hours away from americans heading to the polls to decide the country's next commander in chief. late breaking news has thrown a massive twist into the race. james comey telling congress he sees no evidence to change his conclusion that hillary clinton should not face charges over her handling of classified information. agents had reviewed all e-mails to and from clinton found on the personal device of anthony wein weiner, the estranged husband of huma abedin. donald trump after initially celebrating the inquiry called the latest twist further evidence of a rigged system. >> the investigations into her crimes will go on for a long, long time. the rank and file special agents at the fbi won't let her get away with these terrible crimes. right now, she's being protected by a rigged system. you can't review 650,000 e-mails in eight days. you can't do it, folks. hillary clinton is guilty. she knows it, the fbi knows it. the people, the people know it. and now it's up to the american people to deliver justice at the ballot. >> a senior law enforcement official says the fbi's review found nearly all the e-mails were duplicates of ones previously seen by fbi agents. but how much did the investigation impact the millions of early votes cast so far. over 42 million votes, early votes, that is, have already been cast nationwide, and our brand-new nbc news survey monkey poll shows clinton holding a six-point lead over trump. that's unchanged from last week. tonight, clinton will effectively end her campaign with a closing two-minute ad set to air in primetime. one in which the candidate speaks straight to the camera on the theme of bringing people together. that ad alone should reach about 20 million viewers at home. the clinton campaign celebrated the latest fbi revelation. however, clinton herself did not react to the news despite several events including a large rally in cleveland with none other than the city's own king jam james. but she did underscore the importance of tomorrow's turnout. >> we've arrived at a moment of reckoning in this election. our core values as americans are being tested. i know there's a lot of frustration and even anger in this election season. i see it. i hear it. sometimes, you know, i'm the subject of it. i get it. but anger is not a plan. anger is not going to get us new jobs with rising incomes that will create a strong thriving middle class. >> meanwhile, lebron james talked of his own time growing up in a community that felt disenfranchised. >> i want people to understand i grew up in an inner city and know the whole notion of getting out and voting and i was one of those kids and around a community that was like our vote doesn't matter. but it really does. it really, really does. >> their comment came as clinton surrogates flooded the battleground states in one last push to get voters to the polls. tonight they will hold the largest democratic gathering so far in what "snl" dubbed the avengers line up. the candidate with first lady, the president, bill clinton and chelsea clinton all onhand in philadelphia alongside jon bon jovi and bruce springsteen. and on the final day of the trail, clinton will finish at a midnight rally in north carolina, also visited michigan and pennsylvania. tim kaine will swing through virginia before stopping in north carolina, while al gore, jill and joe biden and president obama fan out across the country. meanwhile, trump heads into blue territory in hopes of flipping several states his way, while sarah palin heads to north carolina, as trump himself swings through florida, north carolina, pennsylvania, and new hampshire. before making his last 2016 campaign appearance in michigan. and make sure to tune in to our special nbc news election coverage tomorrow night, 7:00 eastern, 4:00 pacific, right here on

attorney general, has died due to complications from parkinson's. her family confirmed her death to nbc news this morning. nbc's pete williams has more on the trail blazer's remarkable life. >> the nation's first female attorney general janet reno held the job longer than anyone in more than 170 years. >> i janet reno do solemnly swear. >> president clinton's third choice, reno came to washington after serving as a miami prosecutor for 15 years. barely a month later, she approved an fbi raid on a texas religious cult fearing children were abused. 75 people were killed in a resulting fire which the fbi determined was set by those inside. she won praise for accepting responsibility. >> i approved the plan and i'm responsible for it. i advised the president, but i did not advise him as to the details. >> during her eight years in office, crime dropped steadily, the first decline in decades. she championed drug courts and programs koo keep young people off the streets. she appointed ni eed independen councils nine times, they blasted her for failure to do so about campaign financials by president clinton and al gore. but she did appoint kenneth starr to investigate a clinton business deal and later expanded his authority, leading to the impeachment of president clinton over the monica lewinsky scandal. reno was also criticized for her role in the saga of a cuban boy, elian gonzalez, who came to the u.s. in a boat with her mother who died on the way. reno determined he should be given back to his cuban father and ordered federal marshals to seize him from the home of relatives. >> i have no regrets whatsoever. i tried my level best to make sure that we avoided this situation. >> because of her plain speaking, openness about her parkinson's disease, and aversion to the ways of washington, she was a popular figure, repeatedly parodies on "saturday night live." she got the last laugh. >> it's reno time. >> she love left washington in 2001, saying she wanted to tour the country in a brand-new pickup truck, narrowly losing florida's bid for governor a year later. pete williams, nbc news, washington. >> former attorney general janet reno, dead at the age of 78. hong kong's pro-unless protesters clashed outside of a chinese central government office last night, and police showered thousands of demonstrators with pepper spray, but many shielded themselves, as you can see there, with umbrellas and some even had gas masks. the demonstrator started as a peaceful march against newly elected politicians from taking office in the semiindependent region's legislature. the central government banned the politicians after they pledged allegiance to the hong kong nation and used a japanese derogatory term for china. >> the battle against isis took
