Clinton campaign fires back, demands details on new emails following FBI letter

John Podesta, chair of Hillary Clinton 's campaign, demanded that FBI Director James Comey release details on new emails the agency discovered related to the Clinton case.

"The Director owes it to the American people to immediately provide the full details of what he is now examining. We are confident this will not produce any conclusions different from the one the FBI reached in July," Podesta said in a statement.

In a letter addressed to Comey and Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Democratic congressmen Elijah Cummings and John Conyers called for full disclosure from the Department of Justice and the FBI "in order to debunk these conspiracy theories and correct the public record."

Clinton was mum Friday afternoon about a renewed FBI probe of her emails as she began speaking at a campaign rally in Iowa.

Podesta added that "it is extraordinary that we would see something like this just 11 days out from a presidential election."
