The FBI has recovered emails from Anthony Weiner's laptop that are directly related to its ongoing probe into Hillary Clinton's unauthorized, homebrew email server.

The development came after federal investigators searched the disgraced former congressman's computer as part of a probe into a DailyMail.com report that he carried on a lurid sexting relationship with a 15-year-old girl.

Some of the estimated 650,000 messages on the computer are linked to Clinton's time as secretary of state, and they are not duplicates of emails the FBI has already seen, CBS News reported Thursday.

It took the State Department and a host of intelligence agencies more than a year to sift through 30,000 emails that Clinton turned over to the State Department two years ago, long after she left the Obama administration.

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO

FBI Director James Comey's crew is sifting through a reported 650,000 emails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop, and some of them provide new information about Hillary Clinton's time in the State Department

Broken: Weiner is under investigation for allegedly sexting with a 15-year-old girl, a story broken by DailyMail.com and which has led to the bombshell FBI announcement

It's unknown how many of Weiner's emails will figure into the Clinton investigation, but the eleventh-hour nature of the discovery means there is virtually no chance voters will know what's in them until long after election day.

USA Today reported that Attorney General Loretta Lynch has not received any briefings on what the FBI has found, a necessary step before the FBI might reveal publicly what the emails do or don't contain.

Weiner, the estranged husband of Clinton campaign vice chair Huma Abedin, was forced to resign from Congress after he mistakenly tweeted a photo of his underwear-clad genitals in an aroused state, intending it as a private message to a woman who was not his wife.

FBI Director James Comey wrote to Congress a week ago to inform senior members of several committees that he was taking the unusual step of reviewing a new tranch of emails – nearly four months after publicly clearing Clinton of criminal wrongdoing.

The Democratic presidential nominee faced the possibility of prosecution for housing thousands of classified documents on the unsecured email server in the basement of her home.

At least five foreign intelligence services are now believed to have gained at least partial access to the server, officials said Thursday.

Separately, news emerged Thursday that the FBI has been running a year-long probe into the activities of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has claimed that Clinton used State Department favors as a fishing lure to attract donations to her family foundation, along with six-figure speaking fees for her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Comey's decision to put Congress in the loop last Friday was driven in part by a fear of leaks from inside his agency, law enforcement sources told the Reuters news agency.

The examination of the email traffic is now being carried out under the tightest secrecy by an FBI headquarters team.

One source told Reuters that as of Thursday, 'nobody really knows' whether the FBI will publicly say anything further before the election.

If the public hears no new information, the bombshell will leave Clinton in the tough position of having to calm voters' nerves about the possibility of what Trump on Thursday called 'an unprecedented constitutional crisis – having a sitting president under investigation by a Justice Department whose leadership are her political appointees.

Comey disclosed that the FBI was looking at emails as part of a probe into Clinton's use of a private email system while secretary of state, without describing the emails' content or how long the inquiry might take. The FBI normally does not comment on ongoing inquiries.
