FBI Declares Hillary Clinton Email Investigation Over

The FBI has said the new batch of emails apparently related to Hillary Clinton's private email server "have not changed our conclusion" that she hasn't committed a criminal act.

According to the ABC, FBI director James Comey announced the decision in a written letter to the US Congress.

"The FBI investigative team has been working around the clock to process and review a large volume of emails from a device obtained in connection with an unrelated criminal investigation," Comey said in the letter.

"During that process, we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state."

The news couldn't have come at a better time for the Democratic candidate, given Americans will be hitting the election booths on Tuesday, November 8.

Jennifer Palmieri, director of communications for the Clinton campaign, said, "We're glad to see that [Mr Comey] has found, as we were confident that he would, that he has confirmed the conclusions he reached in July."

It's the final sprint towards the finish line of one of the most contentious and divisive presidential election of modern times. According to the Guardian, Clinton maintains an edge in the polls.

The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal national polls indicate Clinton is holding a slight lead against Republican rival Donald Trump.

"America is great because America is good, and if we…lift each other up, instead of tearing each other down, we can be even greater."
