MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- President Barack Obama returned to Florida Friday, stumping for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Air Force One touched down at Orlando International Airport around 4:41 p.m. Minutes later, he jogged down the steps and greeted Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer.

From there, was scheduled to deliver remarks at the CFE Federal Credit Union Arena.

His visit to Florida comes the same day the FBI announced they would again look into the Clinton e-mail server case and whether classified information was mishandled in emails uncovered during an investigation into former congressman Anthony Weiner - the estranged husband of one of Clinton's aides.

Principal Dep. White House Press Secretary Eric Schultz said the White House was notified of the investigation through press reports.

"The only notification we've  received is the letter that was made public by press reports from Dir. Comey to Capitol Hill," said Schultz who generally declined comment beyond emphasizing the president's support for Clinton.

As for the hopes of the investigation, he said  Obama wants the FBI to make decisions "irrespective of politics."

By 10 p.m. the president is scheduled to be back in Washington, D.C.

The president was in South Florida last week where he made a case for 'Obamacare" and rallied at another event for Clinton. Click here to read more about Campaign 2016.
