"Right now, she is being protected by a rigged system. It's a totally rigged system," Trump told his supporters in a Detroit suburb in Michigan.
The 70-year-old real estate tycoon's remarks were his first reaction after the FBI Director Jim Comey said that it has not changed its view following a renewed probe into the alleged email scandal involving Clinton after it assessed new emails found in the laptop of one of her close aides.
"Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton," Comey told leaders of the US Congress in a letter.
Hours later, Trump challenged the FBI's statement.
"You can't review 650,000 emails in eight days. You can't do it folks. Hillary Clinton is guilty. She knows it. FBI knows it.
"Now it is up to the people of the United States to deliver justice," he said as his supporters responded back with "lock her up" chants.
"The investigations into her crimes will go on for a long time. It's unbelievable, unbelievable, what she gets away with," Trump said.
Clinton, who was campaigning in Cleveland, however, did not make any mention of it in her address.
