Eichenwald: Hillary Clinton's emails: The real reason the FBI is reviewing more of them.
Updated | The disclosure by the Federal Bureau of Investigation late on Friday, October 28 that it had discovered potential new evidence in its inquiry into Hillary Clintons handling of her personal email when she was Secretary of State has virtually nothing to do with any actions taken by the Democratic nominee, according to government records and an official with knowledge of the investigation, who spoke to Newsweek on condition of anonymity.
The revelation that the FBI has discovered additional emails convulsed the political world, and led to widespread (and erroneous) claims and speculation. Many Republicans proclaimed that the discovery suggests Clinton may have broken the law, while Democrats condemned FBI Director James Comey for disclosing this information less than two weeks before the election, claiming he did it for political purposes.
Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, said the development showed his opponent had engaged in corruption on a scale we have never seen before, while Clinton called for the FBI to release all of the information it has, saying the American people have a right to know everything.
The truth is much less explosive. There is no indication the emails in question were withheld by Clinton during the investigation, the law enforcement official told Newsweek, nor does the discovery suggest she did anything illegal. Also, none of the emails were to or from Clinton, the official said. Moreover, despite the widespread claims in the media that this development had prompted the FBI to reopen of the case, it did not; such investigations are never actually closed, and it is common for law enforcement to discover new information that needs to be examined...

This new evidence relates to how Abedin managed her emails. She maintained four email accountsan unclassified State Department account, another on the clintonemail.com domain and a third on Yahoo. The fourth was linked to her husbands account; she used it to support his activities when he was running for Congress, investigative records show. Abedin, who did not know Clinton used a private server for her emails, told the bureau in an April interview that she used the account on the clintonemail.com domain only for issues related to the Secretarys personal affairs, such as communicating with her friends. For work-related records, Abedin primarily used the email account provided to her by the State Department.

Former Miss Finland becomes 12th woman to accuse Trump of sexual assault
A former Miss Finland has become the twelfth woman to come forward and accuse Donald Trump of sexual assault, with two weeks to go until the US election.
Ninni Laaksonen, now 30, was crowned Miss Finland in 2006.
Contacted by local newspaper Ilta-Sanomat, which rang all women known to have met Mr Trump, she accused the billionaire of grabbing her bottom in New York in July the same year.
Miss Laaksonen said the incident occurred moments before she appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman with three other contestants and Mr Trump.
Before the show we were photographed outside the building, she told the paper.
Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt.
I dont think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: What is happening?
Miss Laaksonen said she also attended some house parties with the other contestants and Mr Trumps wife, Melania, who he had married the year before.
Somebody told me there that Trump liked me because I looked like Melania when she was younger, she said.
It left me disgusted.
