Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he believes the FBI may have found the "motherlode" of Hillary Clinton's emails.
At a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, he said he hoped the Democratic candidate's 33,000 deleted messages could now be recovered.
The FBI is investigating new emails that may be linked to its probe into Mrs Clinton's private email server.
Mrs Clinton later told a rally she had nothing to hide.
The FBI has reportedly obtained a warrant to search the cache of emails belonging to a top Clinton aide.
Emails from the aide, Huma Abedin, are believed to have been found on the laptop of her estranged husband, former congressman Anthony Weiner.
There are reportedly 650,000 emails to search through on the laptop, but it is unclear who sent or received the emails or what they were about.
"That's the motherlode," said Mr Trump. "I think you're going to find the 33,000 (emails) that are missing."
"I think we hit the motherlode, as they say in the good old mining industry."
He added: "Thank you, Huma. Thank you, Huma. Good job, Huma. Thank you, Anthony Weiner."
But Mrs Clinton told a rally in Kent, Ohio, that the FBI was welcome to check her aide's emails.
"They should look at them and I'm sure they'll reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my emails for the past year: there is no case here."
