The FBI has announced it is investigating new emails sent by Hillary Clinton on a private server during her time as Secretary of State, sending her campaign into panic mode just 11 days before the presidential election.
The emails were found during an investigation into illicit text messages between Anthony Weiner, a former congressman, and a 15-year-old girl, according to The New York Times. Huma Abedin, Mr Weiner's wife, is one of Mrs Clinton's closest aides and was pictured with her on Friday as the news broke.
Moments after James Comey, director of the FBI, announced the effective reopening of the Clinton email investigation, Donald Trump seized the moment to go for the jugular at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, calling the announcement "bigger than Watergate".
Meanwhile, Mrs Clinton appeared blindsided by the news, she and her inner circle were all on board a plane and without internet access when Mr Comey's letter emerged. Reporters on board said her staff was unaware of the news before landing in Iowa for a rally - where she declined to mention the furore during her speech.
It wasn't until later in the evening that Clinton made an official announcement, calling on the FBI to release immediately all information it has on the newly discovered emails.
