Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has accused his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton of politicising the FBI investigation into her alleged email scandal, saying fresh inquiries against her could only indicate that she has committed an egregious criminal offense.
“Clinton tried to politicise this investigation by attacking and falsely accusing the FBI director of only sending the letter to Republicans, another Clinton lie, as it turned out the letter was sent to both Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress,” Trump said at his third and final rally of the day in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
“The FBI would never have reopened this case at this time unless it were a most egregious criminal offense,” he said, while his supporters shouted “lock her up.” “I’ve had plenty of words about the FBI lately, but I give them great credit for having the courage to right this horrible wrong. Justice will prevail,” Trump claimed.
