The FBI obtained a warrant Sunday for a set of longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s emails found on a laptop belonging to her estranged husband Anthony Weiner, a U.S. official told POLITICO.

The warrant comes two days after FBI Director James Comey announced a review of the emails in connection with Clinton's private email server, which she used during her tenure as secretary of state. Comey indicated it was unclear how significant the newly located emails were, if at all.


Several TV networks reported the issuance of the warrant Sunday night. The search warrant was apparently necessary because the warrant used to seize the laptop and other devices from Weiner earlier this month was focused on evidence that he allegedly exchanged sexually explicit messages with an underage girl.

The new warrant would broaden that search.

Abedin is said to be cooperating with officials, but it’s unclear whether she was officially asked for consent to search the laptop.

Since the announcement, several lawmakers have lashed out at Comey for the timing of his announcement. Most recently, Sen. Harry Reid wrote a letter to Comey saying he might have broken the law by unfairly interfering in the election.

In an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Sunday morning, 63 percent of likely voters said the newly disclosed FBI review makes no difference in how they will vote, with 34 percent of likely voters saying they are less likely to vote for Clinton.
