Statement

Issues: National Security Criminal Justice

U.S. Representative Evan Jenkins (R-W.Va.) issued the following statement today after the FBI announced that it is re-examining emails sent by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton:

"The FBI has a second chance to show that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is not above the law and complete a thorough investigation of her use of a private email server while in office. I strongly disagreed with the FBI's decision back in June not to pursue a criminal case against her, and I'm calling for this case to be reopened and prosecuted just as if she were a private citizen. The handling of classified information is critical to protecting our national security, and Clinton showed a reckless disregard for national secrets and classified information by using a private server."
