McCaul Statement on FBI Investigation of Hillary Clinton

October 28, 2016

AUSTIN, TX – Chairman Michael McCaul (TX-10)released the statement below following the FBI’s announcement that it would be reopening its investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email arrangement:

Chairman McCaul: “Hillary Clinton’s fast and loose handling of classified information has again put her under the investigation of the FBI and scrutiny of the American public. This decision to re-investigate is overdue and attributable to her egregious use of a private server and more than ‘extreme carelessness’ with some of our nation’s greatest secrets, while she was Secretary of State. Her actions have likely compromised our national security, American intelligence and the brave men and women who carry out our most important military operations. As a former federal prosecutor, I firmly believe and understand that no one should be above the law. Additionally, I strongly encourage the FBI to conduct this investigation in a swift and transparent manner.”

Congressman Michael McCaul has represented the 10th District of Texas since 2004. Currently, he serves as Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security and senior member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
