Ron DeSantis: Hillary Clinton 'Needs to be Held Accountable' Over Using Unsecure Servers

From his perch as chairman of the U.S. House National Security Subcommittee, U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., slammed former U.S. Sec. of State Hillary Clinton after information was released showing she had staff send classified information over unsecure connections.

"To order that classified markings be removed so that classified information can be transmitted over an unclassified and unsecured server represents a stunning level of recklessness,” DeSantis said on Friday. “A rank-and-file State Department employee would never have gotten away with pulling a similar stunt.  Sec. Clinton needs to be held accountable and should receive no special treatment from the Department of Justice."

DeSantis is running in this year’s U.S. Senate election in Florida. Clinton is the favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination.
