Bill introduced to take away Hillary Clinton’s security clearance

Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX) are introducing a bill to revoke Hillary Clinton’s security clearance, as well as the security clearances of Clinton’s colleagues at the State Department.

The bill is called the Taking Responsibility Using Secured Technologies (TRUST) Act of 2016.

This comes after the FBI investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State.

This week, FBI Director James Comey announced that he is not recommending any charges in the case.

“The FBI’s investigation into Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail server confirmed what Americans across the country already know: Secretary Clinton recklessly accessed classified information on an insecure system – establishing a vulnerable and highly desirable target for foreign hackers,” said Gardner. “If the FBI won’t recommend action based on its findings, Congress will. At the very least, Secretary Clinton should not have access to classified information and our bill makes sure of it.”
