CIA: We get to pick which media receives classified info

The handling of classified information has been a major news focus in recent years.

During the 2016 election, the FBI investigated Hillary Clinton’s abuse of classified information through a private email server while she was secretary of state. And Clinton aide Huma Abedin was found to have put classified information on the laptop of her convicted pervert husband, Anthony Weiner.

This month, protecting national security secrets has become an issue as the Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee seek to release a memo rebutting the Republicans’ summary of evidence that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee hired an opposition-research firm to produce a “dossier” of political dirt on Donald Trump that was used to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.
