Former House speaker Newt Gingrich, a chief surrogate for Donald Trump, accused FBI Director James Comey of caving to political pressure in his announcement on Sunday that the agency is standing by its conclusion that no case against Hillary Clinton is warranted.

Two days before the election, Comey threw another curveball, telling lawmakers that recently discovered evidence did not change the agency’s decision in July that no reasonable prosecutor would bring a case against Clinton for her handling of classified material through her private server while at the State Department.


“Comey must be under enormous political pressure to cave like this and announce something he cant possibly know,” Gingrich wrote on Twitter.
