Scott seeks to penalize Clinton

U-S Senator Tim Scott announced legislation this morning that would revoke the security clearance of Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State and the Democrats’ presumptive nominee for President.  Scott is a Republican from South Carolina who joined with a Texas colleague to try to apply the TRUST Act (S.3135) to Clinton and her colleagues at the State Department, who Scott says, exhibited extreme carelessness in their handling of classified information. “The bottom line is Secretary Clinton created her own email system, used it to send classified documents, and was most likely hacked by foreign operatives,” Senator Scott said. “If the FBI won’t recommend action based on its findings, Congress will. At the very least, Secretary Clinton should not have access to classified information and our bill makes sure of it.” The TRUST Act was introduced after the FBI concluded Clinton’s actions were “extremely careless,” but no charges are appropriate.
