MSNBC host Joy Reid engaged in a heated exchange with a guest regarding the 33,000 emails deleted from Hillary Clinton's private server.

The segment critiques Reid's dismissal of established facts from the FBI investigation.

Former Trump campaign consultant Michael Caputo claims he was approached by an intermediary in May 2016 regarding stolen Hillary Clinton emails.

Congressional investigators are seeking to interview Rona Graff, Donald Trump's longtime personal assistant and "gatekeeper" at the Trump Organization. Graff is known for printing out emails for Trump, who notoriously avoids using a computer.

James Comey testified that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch directed him to refer to the Hillary Clinton email investigation as a "matter" rather than an "investigation."

Vice President Joe Biden appeared to slur his speech during a public comment regarding the reopening of the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz struggled to define the FBI's probe into Hillary Clinton's private email server, alternating between the terms "investigation" and "inquiry."

She also claimed the U.S. has seen 74 consecutive months of job growth, a figure disputed by economic analysts.

The Treasury Department Inspector General reveals that 32,000 "lost" Lois Lerner emails were found on backup tapes.
