MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has found Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's emails from the days of her tenure as Secretary of State on the laptop belonging to the husband of her former chief of staff Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner, local media reported citing a US official.
The emails are new and are not duplicates of those found on Cinton's private server before, however, it is yet to be determined if they are of any interest for the investigation, CBS News reported.
Abedin’s estranged husband, former US Congressman Weiner, kept a stash of 650,000 emails on his personal laptop that were discovered by FBI agents investigating his illicit text messages to a 15-year-old girl.

It emerged last year during an FBI investigation that Clinton used a private computer server to send and receive thousands of emails involving official Department of State business, while she was US secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
In July 2016, FBI Director James Comey announced that although Clinton’s conduct in the matter had been reckless, it did not warrant criminal prosecution. But last week, Comey said he had re-opened the email server probe.
