"The FBI is not to be used for political purposes and he should realise he was being used for just that."
Jon Sopel speaks to Richard Painter, former chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W Bush, about whether FBI Director James Comey broke the law by disclosing a new development so close to the election. The FBI Director turned the US election on its head when he announced a new discovery of emails related to Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State. FBI insiders are reported saying that Comey was concerned about appearing secretive and partisan had he not exposed the new information. Also in this episode: Anthony Zurcher on the African American voter turnout.
