Chip Somodevilla—Getty Images Chip Somodevilla—Getty Images by [Maya Rhodan](https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/) ## Maya Rhodan Oct 31, 2016 3:24 PM UTC Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is holding [two rallies in Michigan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSHGWd7tkrc) on Monday, just eight days out from Election Day. A [RealClearPolitics ](http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/mi/michigan%5Ftrump%5Fvs%5Fclinton-5533.html)average has Trump’s opponent Hillary Clinton leading in the polls in the state, but the Republican nominee will be on the stump in Grand Rapids and Warren, Mich. on Monday afternoon. The Detroit _Free Press_ reports it will be the candidate’s sixth visit to the state. In speeches over the weekend, Trump has been discussing FBI Director James Comey’s recent letter to Congress about the discovery of more evidence that could be relevant to the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server. The FBI’s discovery has given Trump new momentum as he seeks to sow doubt over Clinton’s fitness for office after weeks of taking hits as women have come forward accusing him of kissing and groping them without their consent. “Hillary Clinton is not the victim. You, the American people are the victims of this corrupt system,” Trump said [at a Sunday night rally](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-idUSKBN12V0WX). Polls show the race tightening, though the impact of the FBI’s decision is not completely clear. Trump will appear in Grand Rapids at 12 p.m. and Warren at 3 p.m. Watch live above. ## Transcript [00:00] And I have to give the FBI credit. That was so bad what [00:03] happened, originally and it took guts for Director [00:07] Comey to make the move that he made in light of [00:11] the kind of opposition he had with their trying to [00:14] protect her from criminal prosecution. It [00:19] took a lot of guts, I really disagreed with him. I was not [00:22] his fan, but I'll tell you what What he did, he brought [00:25] back his reputation. Hilary wants to blame everyone [00:29] else for mounting legal troubles but she has brought [00:33] all of this on herself. Hilary [00:39] is the one who set up an illegal private email [00:43] server. In the closet to shield her criminal [00:47] activity. Hillary is the one who engaged in a corrupt, [00:52] pay- for- place scheme at the state department. And [00:55] now there are five FBI probes into the Clinton [00:59] foundation, and they are pay- for- play activities. [01:04] Very, very deep investigations. Hilary is the [01:08] one who sent and received classified information [01:13] on an insecure server, putting the safety of the [01:17] American people under threat. That's what she did. [01:20] We can be sure that what is in those emails [01:25] It's absolutely devastating and I think we're gonna find [01:27] out by the way- [ APPLAUSE ] For the first time. Thank [01:32] you Huma, thank you Huma. [ APPLAUSE ] Good job [01:36] Huma. Weiner, Weiner, Weiner, Weiner, Weiner. Thank [01:45] you Anthony Weiner.
