Top FBI officials reportedly were told about the new evidence regarding Hillary Clinton’s emails at least two weeks before Director James Comey dropped his bombshell letter to Congress last Friday.

Some senior officials were alerted to the potentially damaging information on Anthony Weiner’s laptop and informed Comey before the briefing he received last Thursday, according to the Washington Post.

The information conflicts with Comey’s letter to Congress, which said “the investigative team briefed me yesterday” about the additional emails.

Meanwhile, President Obama criticized Comey for injecting “innuendo” and “incomplete information” into the presidential race with his surprising letter to Congress.

“I do think that there is a norm that when there are investigations, we don’t operate on innuendo and we don’t operate on incomplete information …,” Obama told NowThisNews in an interview released Wednesday.

Just two days earlier, the White House called Comey a man of integrity.

Also on Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported (paywall) that the FBI inquiry into the Clinton Foundation was based on dubious secret tape recordings of a suspect.

FBI agents wanted to pursue the case and corruption prosecutors viewed the statements as worthless hearsay, the Journal said.
