The FBI now has a warrant to read the emails from Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's most trusted aide, which were among hundreds of thousands discovered on Anthony Weiner's laptop.
Law
enforcement officials confirmed that investigators gained permission to
start trawling through the 650,000 emails discovered on the laptop on
Sunday evening, NBC reported. Thousands of them could be from Clinton's private server.
Feds
seized the laptop belonging to Weiner, Abedin's disgraced husband, in
September after DailyMail.com exposed his sexting of a 15-year-old girl.
In
early October, agents told FBI heads they'd found emails on the laptop
from Abedin that may have been deleted from Clinton's private server but
their warrant did not allow them to read emails that were not linked to
the Weiner investigation.
The newly reopened investigation will take time due to the sheer volume of emails to be read, the Wall Street Journal reported.
It will likely take agents until well past the election to
assess how many, if any, contain classified information - leaving
Clinton with the prospect of facing an ongoing investigation even if she
is elected president.
The
Democratic candidate already shows signs of slipping in the polls after
an ABC News/Washington Post tracker poll revealed Trump was just one
point behind - an 11 point change since last week.
