 Story highlights James Comey provided new details about the FBI investigating Anthony Weiner's computer 
 
 The FBI director said Hillary Clinton's aide was forwarding emails to that computer 
 
 Washington (CNN) FBI Director James Comey revealed Wednesday that Hillary Clinton emails containing classified information were "somehow" being forwarded to former congressman Anthony Weiner by his wife and top Clinton aide, Huma Abedin. In Wednesday’s hearing, Comey said he wanted to tell the American public earlier about this, but Obama didn’t let him. (Some Democrats believe that Comey swayed the elections, and some Republicans, like Trump, believe that the FBI gave Clinton a “free pass.” ) 
 
 In his testimony, Comey confirmed that there was an IG investigation into him and that it continues. Comey said he didn’t know whether the FBI leaked any information to Giuliani, but, he said, “It’s a matter that I’m very, very interested in.” 
 
 Comey told US Senator Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, that if he discovers investigators were leaking information, “there will be severe consequences.” 
 
 That said, in a different part of the hearing, Comey said, under oath, that he has never leaked information to press or authorized any aides to do so about Clinton or anything involving President Trump. Comey said the FBI is looking into whether aides leaked information to former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and others.
– A day after Hillary Clinton blamed him in part for her election loss, FBI chief James Comey acknowledged to Congress that she might have a point: "It makes me mildly nauseous to think we might have had some impact on the election." But Comey defended his decision to announce a new investigation into Clinton's email less than two weeks before Election Day, reports the New York Times. Keeping quiet would have been "catastrophic," he said. More coverage related to his testimony and his role in the election: Comey revealed details on how Anthony Weiner got tied up in the email investigation. It turns out that Weiner's wife, Clinton aide Huma Abedin, "appears to have had a regular practice of forwarding emails to him for him to print out for her so she could deliver them to the secretary of state.” And some of those emails were classified. Comey said the FBI investigated them both but found no evidence they meant to break the law. CNN has a separate story on this aspect of the testimony. At FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver takes an exhaustive look at the election and concludes that Comey's letter probably cost Clinton the victory. It "had a fairly large and measurable impact," he writes. "It wasn’t the only thing that mattered, and it might not have been the most important. But the media is still largely in denial about how much of an effect it had." Axios has some "quick hits" from the Comey testimony. For one thing, he expects the Russians to be back in 2018 and more so in 2020. The Boston Globe has five revelations from the testimony, including that Comey said he wanted to go public about Russian interference in the election, but the Obama White House prevented it. If you just can't get enough, the Washington Post has the full transcript here. David Axelrod thinks Clinton should stop talking about the election. Comey played a role "in a narrow sense," he said on CNN, per the Hill, but he "didn't tell her not to campaign in Wisconsin." He suggests the fault lies mainly with her: "It takes a lot of work to lose to Donald Trump."
