FBI Says Review of New Emails Doesn't Change Anything
The FBI concluded a review of newly-discovered emails related to Hillary Clinton, and sees no reason to change its previous conclusions about Clinton's use of a private server when she was secretary of state, FBI Director James Comey said in a letter to Congress yesterday, ABC's DEAN SCHABNER reports. On October 28, Comey wrote to Congress that the FBI was going to investigate emails potentially related to Clinton that had been found during an unrelated investigation. "Since my letter, the FBI investigative team has been working around the clock to process and review a large volume of emails from a device obtained in connection with an unrelated criminal investigation," Comey wrote. "During that process we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State. Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton." http://abcn.ws/2eMEwCV

Obama's Closing Argument - 'If We Win Florida, It's a Wrap'
Stumping for Hillary Clinton in Florida over the weekend, President Obama made his closing argument to the state that he said has the power to seal the deal for the Democratic nominee tomorrow. "If we win Florida it's a wrap," Obama told the audience gathered outside in Osceola County Stadium. "If we win Florida, it's over, so we've got to work our hearts out this week, these next two days, as if our future depends on it, because our future depends on it."

GOP Chairman Touts Trump's Momentum
Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus argued Sunday that the Trump campaign is surging in the final days of the presidential race. "I don't think we're fighting from behind. We've got the momentum," Priebus said on ABC News' "This Week," adding "we feel good," according to ABC's MEGHAN KENEALLY. "Momentum is everything you need, and there's no question that over the last week and a half Donald Trump has had an enormous amount of momentum," he said. http://abcn.ws/2fuMfWq

Analysis - ABC's Rick Klein
Over the campaign's final weekend, Donald Trump showed in a series of moments what kind of candidate he is, and what kind of campaign he is running to the end. Hours after President Obama confronted a pro-Trump elderly protestor at a campaign event, and turned the crowd's jeers into a call to "respect" all points of view, Trump twisted the moment into something it wasn't. Trump falsely said Obama was "screaming at this protestor. And frankly it was a disgrace." Over the weekend, he blasted Hillary Clinton for campaigning with celebrities, and expressed shock at the kind of "lewd" language employed by Jay Z in his songs. In Reno over the weekend, key campaign surrogates spread the word that a brief security scare – one that didn't involve a weapons – was an "assassination attempt." Trump has had chances – many chances – to dial back the rhetoric just a touch in the campaign's closing days. That's not the card he's playing.

By the Numbers - Clinton, Trump at Campaign's End: Still Close - And Still Unpopular
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump end the 2016 campaign with the race between them close, their historic unpopularity intact -- and, on the bright side, a weary electorate saying it's ready to accept the outcome and move on. The race stands at 47 percent support for Clinton, 43 percent for Trump among likely voters in the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll, with 4 percent for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 2 percent for Jill Stein of the Green Party. While the contest is a close one, Clinton has held at least a numerical advantage almost continuously across the campaign. Indeed, the average result among likely voters in ABC/Post polls since June is 47-42-5-2 percent, almost identical to where it is today.

Clinton Campaign Manager on Her 'Closing Case' to Voters
Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said today her camp is still unclear about why the FBI director made public a probe into newly discovered emails, but that she is focused on making her final appeal to voters. "I don't understand why he couldn't have just looked into the matter and resolved it and not created such a ruckus in the campaign," Mook said on "Good Morning America." "We're just glad that in this last day Hillary can get back out on the road, celebrate the historic turnout that we've seen across the country and talk about the vision she has for our country."

Trump Campaign Manager Accepts Results of FBI Review
Donald Trump's campaign manager today said she accepts that FBI Director James Comey has reaffirmed his previous decision not to charge Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server. "I do accept that," she told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America." Conway continued, "I'm just so dismayed that Democrats attacked Comey a week ago. It doesn't help Hillary Clinton that we're still talking about the emails. ... I think she would like to be on a more positive message." More from ABC's RYAN STRUYK: http://abcn.ws/2eeZNcj
