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:

NOW IS NO TIME TO QUIT

It's been a tough several weeks for those who care about the truth: Congress, the FBI, and the judiciary are seemingly more concerned with providing cover for a foregone conclusion than with uncovering facts.

But we also saw something incredibly powerful: that truth-tellers don't quit, and that speaking up is contagious. I hope you'll read why, even now, we believe the truth will prevail—and why we aren't giving up on our goal of raising $30,000 in new monthly donations this fall, even though there's a long way to go to get there. Please help close the gap with a tax-deductible donation today.
