(Nov. 3, 2016) — At approximately 3:20 p.m. EDT, WikiLeaks tweeted that it would tweet an “FBI-DoJ #PodestaEmail special circa 4pm EST.”
Between October 7 and November 3, the open-government website has released 27 groupings of emails exchanged with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.
On Wednesday evening, Bret Baier of the Fox News Channel announced that the FBI has been investigating the Clinton Foundation, the 501(c)(3) charity set up in the names of former Pres. Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, for possible pay-to-play schemes and other malfeasance.
Last Friday, FBI Director James Comey wrote a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee stating that the agency was taking a second look at its closed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server while she was Secretary of State given that possibly relevant information was found on the laptop of former Congressman Anthony Weiner.
Also on Wednesday, Weiner admitted himself to a treatment center for addiction to “sexting” and related disorders. He has been under investigation since September for allegedly sending explicit material over the Internet to a teenager below the age of 18.
Weiner is the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s close aide, confidant, and deputy campaign manager. Abedin has not been seen in public since Comey made his announcement to the Senate committee, although she is scheduled to appear at a fundraiser on Thursday night, according to CNN.
At 4:20 p.m., WikiLeaks released Part 28 titled “DoJ/FBI/Huma special.”
