- 7 years ago
Hillary Clinton blamed FBI director James Comey for her surprising defeat in Tuesday's elections.
Clinton told donors on a conference call that Comey's decision to reinstate the investigation into her emails only days before the election was the reason for her loss.
"Our analysis is that Comey’s letter raising doubts that were groundless, baseless, proven to be, stopped our momentum," Clinton told donors, according to the New York Times.
Comey announced new emails had been discovered on October 28.
However, he dismissed the emails only a week later.
