Ramin Talaie/Getty Images(DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.) — Hillary Clinton at a rally in Florida on Saturday afternoon slammed the manner in which the FBI director announced a review of new emails as “unprecedented” and “deeply troubling.”
The newly discovered emails that are under review by the FBI were discovered in a separate federal investigation of former Congressman Anthony Weiner, whose wife, Huma Abedin, is a longtime aide to Clinton and vice chair of her campaign. The FBI found at least one device used by both Weiner and Abedin.
Abedin, who was on the campaign trail with Clinton when the news broke Friday, did not travel with her Saturday. Aides have not said whether this is related to the investigation.
Trump pondered publicly at a campaign event Saturday whether the Clinton campaign would “keep Huma,” saying she is a “problem.”
The Clinton camp, though, said Abedin has their full support.
“We of course stand behind her, ” Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta told reporters on on conference call earlier in the afternoon.
The FBI review of the newly-found emails was announced 11 days before Election Day and may feed into the concerns of some voters who express doubt about the former secretary of state’s trustworthiness.
Clinton, however, told reporters on Friday that she’s not too concerned about the it affecting the election.
“You know I think people a long time ago made up their minds about the e-mails,” she said.
Some of her supporters at a canvassing kickoff event on Saturday seemed to agree.
“I’m with Bernie Sanders,” Jo Bouevier, 51, told ABC News. “Enough with the damn emails.”
