Republicans are lashing out at the FBI for not recommending charges against Hillary Clinton for using a private email server when she was secretary of state.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wi., said the FBI’s recommendation “defies explanation,” adding that “declining to prosecute Secretary Clinton for recklessly mishandling and transmitting national security information will set a terrible precedent,” Fortune reports.
Ryan pledged to hold House hearings on the FBI investigation and said Clinton should not be allowed to access classified information.
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas expressed “serious concerns about the integrity of Director Comey’s decision,” arguing that Comey “has rewritten a clearly worded federal criminal statute.”
