Speaker John Boehner attacked Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton on Twitter Tuesday for her ever-changing story on the private email server.
In a follow-up statement, the office of the Speaker shared news reports from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal confirming that Clinton received highly classified information over her email, including a message about the North Korea nuclear weapons program.
“[T]he special review — by the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency — concluded that the emails were “Top Secret,” the highest classification of government intelligence, when they were sent to Mrs. Clinton in 2009 and 2011,” The New York Times reported.
“In short, the former Secretary of her State and her team have gone from swearing seven ways to Sunday that there was no classified information in her personal emails, to promising that there was nothing in her emails that was classified at the time, to explaining that there was nothing in her emails that was marked classified at the time, to saying the rules regarding classified information don’t matter,” Boehner wrote on his website.
He went on to accuse the State Department and the Obama Administration of covering up for Clinton as she broke the president’s rules.
