Paul Ryan Formally Demands Clinton Be Denied Access To Classified Information As members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee grilled FBI Director James Comey on his decision not to recommend a criminal indictment of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was making moves of his own. In a letter to the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Speaker Ryan is formally requesting that Hillary Clinton no longer be privy to classified information for the duration of the presidential campaign. In the letter addressed to Clapper, Ryan wrote, "I am writing to formally request that you refrain from providing any classified information to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the duration of her candidacy for president." Ryan adds that the request comes as a result of the findings announced by FBI Director James Comey at Tuesday's press conference. "As you know, the FBI's investigation of Secretary Clinton's unauthorized personal e-mail found substantial evidence that Secretary Clinton and her staff were 'extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information,'" Ryan wrote. In addition, Director Comey's findings directly contradict previous statements made by Secretary Clinton that she did not send or receive classified information." Director Clapper has yet to respond to Ryan's request.
