The Comey Letter

The Comey Letter refers to a letter sent by FBI Director James Comey in October 2016 during the U.S. presidential campaign. It informed Congress that the FBI was reviewing new emails potentially linked to Hillary Clinton's private server, which could relate to her conduct. The letter received significant media attention and was seen as potentially affecting Clinton’s candidacy. It was later clarified that the emails did not change the FBI’s previous conclusion that Clinton was not criminally responsible, but the timing and nature of the disclosure had a notable political impact during the election.
