Clinton Campaign Chairman Wants FBI To Release More Information About Clinton Email Review

WASHINGTON, D.C. (CNN) -- John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, called on FBI Director James Comey Friday to "immediately provide the American public more information" related to the bureau's review of emails tied to the probe into her private server.

"FBI Director Comey should immediately provide the American public more information than is contained in the letter he sent to eight Republican committee chairmen," Podesta said.

"Already, we have seen characterizations that the FBI is 'reopening' an investigation but Comey's words do not match that characterization. Director Comey's letter refers to emails that have come to light in an unrelated case, but we have no idea what those emails are and the Director himself notes they may not even be significant."

Podesta continued, "It is extraordinary that we would see something like this just 11 days out from a presidential election."
