FBI tells Congress it has not changed conclusion on Clinton e-mails
FBI Director James Comey told Congress on Sunday (Nov 6) a recent review of newly discovered emails did not change the agency's conclusion that no charges were warranted in the case of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.
In a letter to Congress, Comey said the agency had completed its review of the new emails and "we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton."
"The FBI investigative team has been working around the clock to process and review a large volume of emails from a device obtained in connection with an unrelated criminal investigation," Comey said in the letter.
"During that process, we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state."
Four arrested in Hong Kong after 8-hour stand-off between police and 4,000 protesters
After close to eight hours of stand-off between police and some 4,000 protesters in Hong Kong on Sunday (Nov 6) night, which saw pepper spray being used and police tactical team deployed, four protesters were arrested and at least one police officer was injured.
The violent clashes had broken out outside the Chinese liaison office during a protest against Beijing's move to intervene in an oath-taking controversy involving two pro-independence Hong Kong lawmakers.
Beijing's move, the fifth time it is handing down its interpretation of the Basic Law, or Hong Kong's mini-constitution, has sparked wide concerns that China is tightening its grip on the city. While Hong Kong is part of China, it was granted a high degree of autonomy under the "One Country Two Systems" framework after it was handed back to China in 1997.
