FBI Director James Comey faces extraordinary pressure to explain himself after dropping a bombshell on Hillary Clinton’s campaign 11 days before the presidential election.
Comey revealed that he was reviving a previously completed investigation into Clinton’s e-mail practices in a three-paragraph letter Friday to congressional leaders that offered few specifics. Former prosecutors and lawmakers from both parties expressed shock and dismay at Comey’s decision, which flouted decades of legal custom that call for avoiding taking actions that could affect the outcome of an election.
