Issues: National Security Government Operations Judicial Branch

U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte released the following statement today regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) recommendation that Secretary Hillary Clinton not be prosecuted despite finding evidence that she mishandled classified information.

"Despite finding evidence that Secretary Clinton was "extremely careless" and potentially broke the law by mishandling classified information, the FBI's recommendation against pursuing charges suggests that she gets to play by a different set of rules than everyone else," said Senator Ayotte. "The lives of Americans depend on the protection of classified information, and failing to enforce the law in this case sets a dangerous precedent for our national security."
