The government should deny Hillary Clinton<\/a> the regular national security briefings presidential nominees generally receive, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan<\/a> said Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ryan<\/a> also said the House will hold hearings and demand that FBI Director James B. Comey<\/a> testify about why, after laying out a case against Mrs. Clinton<\/a>\u2019s secret email server, he refused to recommend charges against her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the DNI, the director of national intelligence, should block her access to classified information,\u201d Mr. Ryan<\/a> said on Fox News.<\/p>\n

Earlier Tuesday, Mr. Comey<\/a> announced the findings of the FBI\u2019s yearlong investigation, saying Mrs. Clinton<\/a>\u2019s secret email account could well have been hacked by enemy agents. He said she did, in fact, send and receive information that was classified at the time she handled it.<\/p>\n

Mr. Comey<\/a> said Mrs. Clinton<\/a> may well have broken laws but he would recommend that the Justice Department not pursue charges against her. He said he didn\u2019t think anyone else had been successfully prosecuted for that level of offense.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ryan<\/a> said the FBI will have to turn over its investigative files so Congress, and voters, can see how Mr. Comey<\/a>made his recommendation.<\/p>\n
