Las Vegas, NV – Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement in response to FBI Director James Comey’s letter to eight Republican Committee Chairmen:

“There has always been more froth than fact on this issue. Despite the rampant, baseless speculation triggered by Director Comey’s letter, reports suggest that the FBI is not looking at emails from Secretary Clinton, nor are they looking at emails sent from her private server.

“Now, as always, the public would benefit from more information. Specifically, the public deserves more transparency from the FBI. Director Comey has a responsibility to the public to provide more information than a three-paragraph letter so that the public can base their opinions on facts, not speculation.”
