The “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued to cover on Wednesday night news that scandal-ridden Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton turned over her private e-mail server and numerous thumb drives to the FBI but largely brushed it off as “a headache” and “distraction” for Clinton in what has “been a tough summer.”

Following in the footsteps of its morning counterpart, ABC’s World News Tonight clocked in with the least amount of time across the networks with two minutes and 23 seconds on the story. Anchor David Muir began by observing that “the firestorm” is “growing for Hillary Clinton tonight” as she’s “now reversing course, turning over that home server after insisting she would not.”
