Paul Ryan's request to block Clinton from intelligence briefings denied

  • 8 years ago
House Speaker Paul Ryan's request to block Hillary Clinton from receiving intelligence briefings once she's formally nominated by Democrats -- given her use of a private email server - has failed.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Ryan in a letter, that he did "not intend to withhold briefings from any officially nominated, eligible candidate."
Ryan made the request after Clinton was criticized by the FBI for her email use, but not punished.
