FBI Director says the case against Hillary Clinton mishandling classified emails is closed again
FBI Director James Coney released an official statement saying that Hillary Clinton has been cleared, or that "we have not changed the conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton."
The announcement removes a cloud of suspicion around her campaign and potential Presidency.
Ten days ago he reopened the investigation after the FBI obtained emails from a computer belonging to Clinton aide Huma Abedin. The announcement stole momentum from her campaign and delivered it to Trump.
The model from Nate Silver, for instance, lowered her chance of winning to 65% from 81% before the investigation re-opened.
The story first broke when Jason Chaffetz, a Republican US Congressman from Utah, tweeted that the FBI Director told Congress that no new information had emerged that Clinton mishandled classified information.
Minutes later the official statement was released.
It took some time but the US dollar gained significant traction after the announcement.
