WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- FBI Directer James Comey on Sunday informed the U.S. House members that FBI has not changed its July advice not to charge Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over her use of personal email server during her stay in the State Department.

In a letter to several members of Congress, Comey said the agency had finished its review and found nothing to change its position.

"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," said the statement.

"During that process, we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of state," it said.

"Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton", the statement concluded.

In July, Comey said Clinton had been careless but not criminal in handling sensitive material on her private email server while secretary of state.
