US election 2016: FBI in the spotlight after Clinton email leak

Two top Democrats asked the Justice Department to investigate leaks from within the FBI to the Trump campaign and the news media about bureau probes of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.

Some critics have accused the FBI of trying to tilt voters against the Democratic presidential hopeful by leaking potentially damaging information.

But others argue the agency has been restricted in proceeding with a legitimate investigation.
