Newly discovered emails found during the federal investigation into the Dailymail.com exclusive that Anthony Weiner sexted a 15-year-old girl

The FBI announced Friday it had received new information and was going back to its inquiry into Hillary Clinton's emails

'It is extraordinary that we would see something like this just 11 days out from a presidential election'

Now it's Hillary Clinton's campaign that is hitting the FBI – after the bureau announced Friday that it is reopening an investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails after developments in an unrelated case.

The Clinton campaign fired off a stern statement Friday 'in response to the letter sent by FBI Director James Comey to eight Republican committee chairman in Congress' – suggesting at the outside that some sort of partisan action was at play.

'It is extraordinary that we would see something like this just 11 days out from a presidential election,' Clinton campaign chair John Podesta wrote in the official statement, the campaign's first comment since stunning word broke that Clinton's emails were back under the microscope at FBI headquarters.

It was the campaign's first official comment. The candidate did not respond to shouted questions as she got off her campaign plane at a campaign stop in Iowa.

'Upon completing this investigation more than three months ago, FBI Director Comey declared no reasonable prosecutor would move forward with a case like this and added that it was not even a close call,' Podesta began his statement.

'In the months since, Donald Trump and his Republican allies have been baselessly second-guessing the FBI and, in both public and private, browbeating the career officials there to revisit their conclusion in a desperate attempt to harm Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.'

Trump has repeatedly suggested at his campaign rallies that something was going on at the FBI, after the Comey announced this summer that he would not recommend bringing charges against Clinton. Trump also frequently brings up an airplane tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch shortly before the FBI announced its decision.

Podesta said Comey should 'immediately provide the American public more information than is contained in the letter he sent to eight Republican committee chairmen.'

'Already, we have seen characterizations that the FBI is 'reopening' an investigation but Comey's words do not match that characterization,' Podesta continued.

He said Comey's letter 'refers to emails that have come to light in an unrelated case, but we have no idea what those emails are and the Director himself notes they may not even be significant.'

The New York Times was first to report that emails were found during the investigation of Rep. Anthony Weiner after he was caught in September sexting with an underage girl.

Dailymail.com exclusivly revealed the shamed ex-Congressman exchanged photos and lewd messages with a 15-year-old girl.

If Clinton wanted an update on that case, she might be able to consult her longtime aide Huma Abedin, who was seated near her on her campaign plane Friday.

The trove of emails were discovered during the Weiner investigation on a laptop used by both Weiner and his estranged wife Huma.
