The FBI has completed its review of newly discovered emails on Anthony Weiner’s computer and has determined that there is no reason to change its conclusions in the case. In July, the FBI announced it had found no reason to bring charges against Clinton for how she had handled her emails as secretary of state. FBI director James Comey announced the latest decision in a letter to members of Congress Sunday—nine days after Comey plunged the presidential race into turmoil by announcing the bureau would be looking at the newly found emails.

Here is the letter, obtained by NBC news:

OUR NEW CORRUPTION PROJECT

The more we thought about how MoJo's journalism can have the most impact heading into the 2020 election, the more we realized that so many of today's stories come down to corruption: democracy and the rule of law being undermined by the wealthy and powerful for their own gain.

So we're launching a new Mother Jones Corruption Project to do deep, time-intensive reporting on systemic corruption. We aim to hire, build a team, and give them the time and space needed to understand how we got here and how we might get out. We'll publish what we find as a major series in the summer of 2020, including a special issue of our magazine, a dedicated online portal, and video and podcast series so it doesn't get lost in the daily deluge of breaking news.

It's unlike anything we've done before and we've got seed funding to get started, but we're asking readers to help crowdfund this new beat with an additional $500,000 so we can go even bigger. You can read why we're taking this approach and what we want to accomplish in "Corruption Isn't Just Another Scandal. It's the Rot Beneath All of Them," and if you like how it sounds, please help fund it with a tax-deductible donation today.
