With less than two weeks to go until Election Day,Complete Series Archives the Clinton camp was hit with another email surprise upon landing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Friday.
FBI officials announced the discovery of new Hillary Clinton emails that appear related to the closed investigation into her use of a private server, according to the New York Times. They were found during a federal investigation into New York politician Anthony Weiner's sexting with a 15-year-old girl.

Weiner and his soon-to-be ex-wife Huma Abedin, a top Clinton aide, had their electronic devices seized as part of that investigation.
The whole episode renews the Clinton email saga once again, just 11 days before the polls close - and it appears the Clinton camp had little time to prepare.
Several journalists on Twitter said Friday Wi-Fi was down on the plane, so the Democratic candidate's campaign pretty much heard the news when everyone else did.

Mashablehas reached out to the Clinton campaign for clarification.
The plane made the trip to Cedar Rapids for a rally there. It appears Clinton didn't immediately answer any questions about the renewed FBI probe upon landing.

FBI Director James Comey had addressed the newly discovered emails in a letter to Congress. Even though the emails were found during the Weiner sexting case, Comey said they "appear to be pertinent to the [Clinton emails] investigation."
However, it's unclear whether the FBI is actually reopening the Clinton email investigation — a point emphasized by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, who asked Comey to "immediately provide the American public more information."
"Already, we have seen characterizations that the FBI is 'reopening' an investigation but Comey's words do not match that characterization," Podesta said in a statement.
"Director Comey's letter refers to emails that have come to light in an unrelated case, but we have no idea what those emails are and the Director himself notes they may not even be significant."
Still, the FBI even mentioning Clinton emails again has got the Donald Trump campaign feeling pretty giddy. Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway tweeted "A great day in our campaign just got even better. FBI reviewing new emails in Clinton probe."
And of course, Trump himself took full advantage of the situation at a rally in New Hampshire.

Clinton addressed the issue later on Friday, saying she was confident investigators won't find information that would cause the FBI to change its decision to close the investigation without filing charges in July.
She also called on the FBI to release more information about its review, saying "let's get it out."
The Associated Press contributed reporting.
