Donald Trump Sets Off fireworks, praises the FBI for new Hillary email probe in fire-filled rally as he vows that ‘justice will now prevail’

A jubilant Donald Trump set off fireworks at a rally in Iowa as he celebrated the news that the FBI has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton's classified email scandal.


Speaking to excitable crowds during a campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, The Donald said 'justice will prevail'.

'The investigation is the biggest political scandal since Watergate, and it's everybody's hope that justice at last can be delivered,' he said. 'The FBI would never have reopened this case at this time unless it were a most egregious criminal offense.

'As you know, I've had plenty of words about the FBI lately, but I give them great credit for having the courage to right this horrible wrong.'

In a furious press conference Friday evening, Clinton called on the FBI to release whatever information it has about its restarted investigation of her email scandal 'without delay'.

And she said she did not know 'what to believe' regarding what she called 'rumors' that the new information came from trusted Aide Huma Abedin's laptop – a device she reportedly shared with disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner.

'We are 11 days out from perhaps the most important election of our lifetimes,' Clinton told reporters in a surprise press conference. 'The American people deserve to get the full and complete facts Immediately.'

Asked if she had been contacted by the FBI or whether she was concerned that the new emails would reveal any classified information, Clinton responded to the first part of the question.

'No – we have not been contacted by anyone. First we knew about it is, I assume, when you knew about it, when this letter sent to Republican members of the House was released.

'So we don't know the facts, which is why we are calling on the FBI to release all the information that it has.'

'Lets get it out,' she said.

She observed that FBI director James Comey had said the new information concerning the more than 1,000 emails found on the device may not be significant.

Responding to Clinton's press conference Friday night, Trump said: 'In her very brief remarks tonight, Hilary Clinton tried to politicize this investigation by attacking and falsely accusing the FBI director of only sending the letter to Republicans.
