Hillary Clinton urges backers not to be distracted by email developments. 'There is no case here'
KENT, Ohio _ Hillary Clinton urged voters not to be "distracted" by the FBI's revived scrutiny of her email practices and sought to turn the focus to her Republican rival, casting Donald Trump as an untested leader who can't be trusted with nuclear weapons.
Kicking off the final week of the presidential race with a rally at Kent State University, Clinton acknowledged that voters may be asking what "this new email story is about," or "why in the world the FBI would decide to jump into an election with no evidence of wrongdoing with just days to go."
"That's a good question," she added with a chuckle, before saying investigators "by all means" should examine thousands of emails found on a laptop computer apparently used by the husband of a top Clinton aide, Huma Abedin.
"I am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my emails for the last year: There is no case here," Clinton said of the latest FBI probe.
