In a blistering letter, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said FBI Director James Comey may have violated the law by disclosing a revived investigation into Hillary Clinton e-mail practices as millions of Americans are already casting ballots in the presidential election.
Reid said Comey failed to disclose “explosive” evidence of “close ties and coordination” between Republican Donald Trump, his advisers, and the Russian government, yet rushed to disclose “innuendo” about the Democratic presidential nominee “in the most negative light possible” 11 days before the election.
