(YAHOO) – Hillary Clinton’s top campaign officials launched a sharp criticism of FBI Director James Comey in a Saturday afternoon conference call with reporters, questioning his decision to inform Congress that he planned to examine new emails that could relate to the agency’s previous investigation into Clinton’s server.
“Twenty-four hours after the letter was sent, we have no real explanation of why Director Comey sent that letter,” campaign chair John Podesta said. He called Comey’s letter to lawmakers “long on innuendo and short on facts.”
“No one can separate what is true from what’s not, because Director Comey has not been forthcoming with the facts,” he said.
The Saturday conference call and Clinton’s brief Friday press conference addressing the matter show that the Democratic nominee’s campaign is trying to limit the fallout from the FBI’s cryptic announcement just 11 days before Election Day.
