Accuracy in Media

Speaker Paul Ryan urged the intelligence community to not give Hillary Clinton classified information briefings since she didn’t handle such information carefully while at the State Department:

Ryan, in a letter to Clapper, said he wants Clinton prohibited from receiving classified information “for the duration of her candidacy for president.”

“There is no legal requirement for you to provide Secretary Clinton with classified information, and it would send the wrong signal to all those charged with safeguarding our nation’s secrets if you choose to provide her access to this information despite the FBI’s findings,” Ryan wrote.

Ryan said in his letter that if Clapper decides to deny his request, he would like him to explain why he would grant Clinton access to classified information despite the FBI’s  findings that Clinton and her staff were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”
