The Presidential candidate hit out at Mrs Clinton after the FBI announced the re-investigation linked to her use of a private email account for secure emails while she was Secretary of State following the discovery of new emails in an "unrelated case". Talking at a rally in New Hampshire, Mr Trump told the baying crowd: "Hillary Clinton’s corruption is on a scale we’ve never seen before. We must not let her take her criminal scheme into the Oval Office. "I have great respect for the fact the FBI and the Department of Justice are now willing to have the courage to right the horrible mistake that they made. "This was a grave miscarriage of justice that the American people fully understood and it’s everybody’s hope that it’s about to be corrected.

"So that is a big announcement I heard 10 minutes ago and I guess obviously most of you folks have heard about it and for all fairness for all the people that have suffered for doing so much less and four star General James Carter, General Portas and many others, perhaps finally justice will be done. "With that being said the rest of my speech is going to be so boring. "Should I even make the speech? We will talk about borders, we will talk about trade, we’ll bring back our jobs, strengthen our military and let’s get going. "This is bigger than Watergate."

Mr Trump has consistently brought up Mrs Clinton's e-mail scandal during the presidential campaign and today's news was music to his ears. However, less than an hour after he finished his speech, an unnamed US official told the Associated Press news agency the new e-mails did not come from Mrs Clinton's private server. The new e-mails were found during an investigation into former Anthony Weiner's "sexting" scandal, the New York Times reported. The White House said nothing has happened which would change Presidnet Obama's view of Hillary Clinton as a candidate. US house oversight chairman, Jason Chaffetz, broke the initial news on Friday afternoon local time, tweeting he had received information from the director of the FBI the case into Mrs Clinton would be re-opened. He tweeted: “The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation." During a speech in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, just after Mr Trump's rally in New Hampshire, Mrs Clinton did not address the fresh investigation.

Last July it emerged Mrs Clinton had been using a private email server, rather than her state.gov one, for correspondence. The FBI spent a year investigating her use of the unauthorised account between 2009 and 2013, amid claims there were highly sensitive government secrets contained in some of her correspondence.

Questions were raised that she may have broken federal laws as the transmitting of classified information over unsecured channels is forbidden. She has never denied her involvement in the fiasco, previously saying: “If I had to do it over again, I would, obviously, do it differently. ”But I'm not going to make any excuses. It was a mistake and I take responsibility for that."
