FBI official resigns over alleged bias
FBI official Scott Jones resigned Monday after The Hill revealed he was accused of bias against Hillary Clinton during a probe into former FBI Director James Comey’s handling of the investigation into her private email server.
Jones, a senior manager with the bureau’s national security division, was one of several officials the Trump administration has fired for allegedly violating ethics rules.
Trump fired Jones in August.
Former White House national security adviser Ben Rhodes resigned in July.
The former Justice Department official was hired by the bureau in 2013 to oversee a review of FBI policies and practices.
Jones had been in charge of an investigation into the Clinton email investigation that focused on whether she broke the law by using a private email account and using a personal server.
Trump fired Rhodes in July amid a backlash from the public and the political establishment over his handling of a report into the probe, including allegations of improper coordination between his presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
The investigation was launched after a report by the FBI that found that Clinton used a private server for her emails during her tenure as secretary of state.
That report was released in January, less than a year after Comey testified before Congress and denied any improper communications with the Clinton campaign.
An investigation of the FBI’s handling the Clinton probe has become a focal point in the 2018 midterm elections and is expected to be one of the biggest battlegrounds in the midterm elections.

How much will the NFL’s salary cap be worth this year?
In 2018, the NFL Salary Cap will rise to $155.4 billion, or about $11 billion more than last year.
The total is up from $132.7 billion in 2017.
The NFL’s total revenue, according to the NFL, is $3.3 billion.
The cap is set to rise from $155 billion to $166 billion, according the NFL.
In 2018 there will be an extra $100 million per team.
The average salary of a defensive lineman will increase by $1.3 million in 2018, and an average linebacker by $3 million.
The salary cap also is expected to increase for a few other key positions: wide receivers, running backs, and defensive linemen.
The most important position in football will remain the position of quarterback, which will remain untouched by the cap increase.
However, the salary cap is expected in 2019 to be about $140 million, up from the $130 million cap the NFL recorded in 2018.
The highest-paid player in football is likely to be the quarterback, but there are some who expect him to increase his salary by about $5 million next season.
The number of offensive linemen increased by $5.4 million from 2017 to 2018.
In addition, there will also be a $3,000 per-game increase for all players who played in the 2018 NFL season, which means that a player like Andrew Luck or Cam Newton will receive about $3 per game in 2018 compared to about $2.5 in 2017, according ESPN.
NFL Salary Caps are projected to rise to the maximum of $166.5 billion in 2019.
The full cap increases to $178.7 trillion, which would put the league at $1 trillion.
This year, the new cap will be set at $172.2 billion, which is up about $25 billion from last year, according Polygon.
The 2017 NFL Salary cap was $153.7 million, the most expensive cap in league history.
However in 2018 the cap is projected to be $158.6 million, which gives the league a $10 billion surplus in 2018 ($166.7-167.7).
The 2018 cap was set at about $156.7-$160.3, and the 2019 cap is forecast to be between $165-$175 million, according NFL Media.
