WASHINGTON -Hillary Clinton isn’t saying much about the FBI decision to investigate new emails linked to her private email server.

Kansas Senator Pat Roberts on social media said, “It is regretful that this matter wasn’t more fully reviewed some months ago, but it is certainly appropriate to take a hard look at it now.”

Clinton ignored shouted questions from reporters about the FBI investigation as she walked off her plane Friday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

She smiled and waved to reporters gathered on the tarmac, but made no comments.

A U.S. official says newly discovered emails that have prompted a new FBI review of the Hillary Clinton email investigation came from a separate sexting probe of former congressman Anthony Weiner.

Federal authorities in New York and North Carolina are investigating online communications between Weiner and a 15-year-old girl.

The official said Friday that the emails referenced by FBI Director James Comey surfaced during that investigation. The official was familiar with the investigation but was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Comey told members of Congress on Friday that newly discovered emails believed to be related to the Clinton case were prompting a new review.
