FBI's email probe ahead of voting 'unprecedented' and 'deeply troubling': Hillary Clinton
US presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has declared that the FBI's decision to announce a renewed probe into her use of email just ahead of voting was "unprecedented" and "deeply troubling."

So we've called on Director Comey to explain everything right away, put it all out on the table."First Published:Oct 30, 2016, 10:34:25 IST
