- Director James Comey revealed the huge news in an email on Sunday
- Clinton won’t be charged with anything stemming from her email scandal

The FBI has announced it will not make any changes to its July decision on Hillary Clinton’s emails, meaning the Democratic nominee will not be charged.
Congressman Jason Chaffetz tweeted out the massive news on Sunday afternoon.
‘FBI Dir just informed us “Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Sec Clinton”,’ Chaffetz wrote.
Shortly after Chaffetz tweeted the comment, a full transcript of Comey’s email was released.
‘I write to supplement my October 28, 2016 letter that notified you the FBI would be taking additional investigative steps with respect to former Secretary of State Clinton’s use of a personal email server,’ the FBI Director wrote.
‘During that process, we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State.
‘Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton.’
Comey then thanked the FBI staff who worked on the investigation.
It is believed the team of investigators have sorted through about 650,000 emails in just nine days.
Comey’s potentially election-changing announcement comes little more than a week after he shockingly revealed the investigation – which had been closed in July – was back on.

In a letter sent to Congress on October 28, Comey said that he had launched an investigation into the ‘pertinent’ exchanges to determine if any of the emails – which allegedly number more than 1,000 in total – contain classified information and whether any of them are ‘significant.’
It was also revealed the investigation was reopened after emails were discovered on a device owned by disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner.
Weiner was under investigation after DailyMail.com revealed he had sent explicit messages and graphic pictures to the 15-year-old, fully aware she was under-age.
In the days since the investigation was reopened, Donald Trump had pulled closer in the race against Clinton.
He also repeatedly claimed the email scandal would be what sunk Clinton’s campaign.
