FBI Director James Comey says, "In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation ... The FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant."

The FBI and Justice Department reviewed evidence and in July chose not to bring a case against Clinton.
