In the race for the White House, U.S. President Barack Obama has made his first
public comments on the FBI's decision to reopen its investigation into Democratic presidential
nominee, Hillary Clinton's emails.
Obama criticized the lack of detail from the FBI, implying the agency was relying on innuendo.
In the meantime, polls suggest the race for the White House is tighter than ever in the
battleground states.
Lee Unshin has the latest.
President Obama isn't thrilled about the FBI's decision to disclose its review of new emails
that may or may not be linked to Hillary Clinton's use of a private server while she was secretary
of state.
In an interview with NowThisNews Obama said , "I do think that there is a norm that when
there are investigations, we don't operate on innuendo, we don't operate on incomplete
information and we don't operate on leaks.
We operate based on concrete decisions that are made."
The president is just one of many who have been critical of FBI Director James Comey's
decision to send a letter to members of Congress, about the bureau's review of newly discovered
emails just days before the election.
Meanwhile, the candidates are busy barnstorming the country in a final effort to shore up
their support in key battleground states.
Quinnipiac University poll results, released late Wednesday, show Trump leading in the
state of Ohio by 5 points, but Clinton is still ahead in Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
And according to RealClearPolitics' electoral map, Clinton has 226 of the 270 electoral
votes needed to clinch the election, to 180 for her rival Donald Trump.
With just five days to go until Election Day on November 8th, the candidates' efforts in
swing states, where about 132 electoral college votes are at stake, could decide who will
be the next person to take the top job at the White House.
