Keep it honest, Donald..
Quote:Donald Trump distorted the facts about former secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails when he said in Texas that “the FBI found thousands [of emails] she never turned over, and now just recently found another 15,000 more.” Trump is right that the FBI recovered “several thousand work-related emails” that Clinton did not turn over to the State Department, as FBI Director James Comey disclosed in July. But the FBI did not “just recently” find “another 15,000 more.” Instead, it was recently announced that the FBI recovered a total of about 14,900 emails during its yearlong investigation of Clinton, including the “several thousand work-related emails” that Comey cited in July. Also, Trump claimed that Clinton deleted her emails to “cover up her crimes,” but Comey said the FBI found “no evidence that any of the additional work-related emails [that the FBI found] were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them.”Fact check: Trump on Clinton’s emails
