国际英语资讯:News Analysis: WikiLeaks not hurting Clinton, but new FBI probes impact remains to be seen

The campaign by U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was hardly hurt by the WikiLeaks release of troves of emails, but the impact of the latest reopened investigation by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) remains to be seen.

With the Election Day just 11 days away, FBI director James Comey dropped a political bombshell Friday by informing the House Oversight Committee that it reopened the probe into Clinton's emails case after discovering some emails that appeared to be linked to its previous investigation into Clinton's use of private email account while she was secretary of state.

The newly discovered emails, which are not Clinton's, were reportedly discovered by the FBI from at least one electronic device shared by disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner and his estranged wife, Huma Abedin, a close Clinton aide, the New York Times reported.

The FBI declined to indict Clinton after its previous probe ended in July, though Comey slammed Clinton for being "extremely careless" in dealing with classified information.

Recent weeks have seen the release via the website WikiLeaks of troves of emails that critics say bolster an ongoing narrative that Clinton and her campaign are engaged in corruption.

The latest of those include an alleged overlap between the Clinton Foundation, a charity organization run by the Clinton family, and Bill Clinton' s personal finances - which critics and U.S. media bill as highly questionable. Others include an admission by Hillary Clinton that she knew a major U.S. ally in the Middle East was helping to finance the terror group Islamic State.
