Hillary Clinton’s campaign is pressuring FBI Director James Comey to release more details about the emails he says could be related to the investigation into her use of a private email server, including whether Comey has even reviewed them himself.
Tim Kaine, Clinton’s running mate, says Comey owes it to the public to be more forthcoming about the emails under review by the FBI with only 10 days remaining before November 8 election.
Kaine’s message aimed to counter Republican rival Donald Trump, who has seized on the reignited email controversy in hopes of sowing fresh doubts about Clinton’s trustworthiness.

“As far as we know now, Director Comey knows nothing about the content of these emails. We don’t know whether they’re to or from Hillary at all,” Kaine said. The Virginia senator says if Comey “hasn’t seen the emails, I mean they need to make that completely plain. Then they should work to see the emails and release the circumstances of those once they have done that analysis.”
Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, says Comey’s handling of the matter is “inappropriate.”
Podesta urges Comey to be more transparent because the disclosure came “in the middle of the presidential campaign so close to the voting.”
