House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., wrote a letter Wednesday formally urging Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to deny presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton access to classified information.
“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.”
“I firmly believe this necessary to reassure the public that our nation’s secrets are secure,” he adds.
His letter comes after Attorney General Loretta Lynch declared the investigation into Clinton's emails over with no criminal charges.
Ryan, a former vice presidential candidate, said in an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Tuesday that Clapper should “block” Clinton from receiving classified briefings after the Democratic National Convention.
He said on “The Kelly File” he received weekly CIA briefings as Mitt Romney's running mate in 2012 and said Clinton should not be given such information "given how recklessly she handled this."
"She grossly was negligent, she mishandled classified information and now she wants to be commander-in-chief," Ryan said in the interview.
Additionally, Ryan sent a letter to FBI Director James Comey requesting that he release all of the unclassified findings from the agency’s investigation into Clinton.
“Right now, there are simply too many unanswered questions,” Ryan wrote to Comey. “While we have started oversight hearings, as you stated earlier this week, ‘given the importance of the matter, I thin unusual transparency is in order.’ I completely agree.
“The American people deserve to know exactly what your investigation uncovered and why the FBI came to the decision to recommend that no criminal charges be brought against Secretary Clinton.”
Comey is expected to testify Thursday morning before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
