MIAMI (CBSMiami) – As Hillary Clinton faces new scrutiny over her use of a private email server, she's diverting attention instead to Donald Trump's tax plan.
The FBI sent Congress a cache of secret documents Tuesday related to its investigation into Clinton's email practices.
The FBI labeled the Clinton material "secret," warning leak-prone lawmakers that it was "being provided with the expectation it will not be disseminated or disclosed without FBI concurrence."
The trove of documents includes interview summaries that Republicans will pore over, looking for discrepancies between what Clinton told FBI agents and what she told Congress.
"Nothing was marked classified at the time I sent or received it," said Clinton.
Republicans are trying to make the case that Clinton should be prosecuted for perjury and false statements. It's the latest salvo in a 17-month war over her use of a private email account and server as secretary of state.
"I have nothing to say," said Clinton.
While campaigning in Philadelphia, Clinton had no comment but an aide said the perjury accusation "reeks of desperation on the part of Republicans who continue to use taxpayer money to affect an election that isn't going their way."
Hoping to change the subject, her campaign accused Trump Tuesday night of pushing a "deranged conspiracy about Clinton's health."
"Hillary Clinton doesn't have that strength or stamina, believe me," said Trump.
The 70-year old Trump has made a series of unfounded statements about Clinton's well-being.
"She actually is low energy," said Trump.
Clinton aides point out she has done hundreds of campaign events and sailed through an 11-hour Benghazi hearing but that hasn't stopped Trump.
"She'll take a nap for four or five hours and then she'll come back. No naps for Trump," said Trump.
