ABC News is reporting that House Speaker Paul Ryan will formally make a request of Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to deny Hillary Clinton access to classified intelligence information she is privy to as the Democrat Party nominee for president.

"There is no legal requirement for your to provide Secretary Clinton with classified information, and it would send the wrong signal to all those charged with safeguarding our nation's secrets if you choose to provide her access to this information despite the FBI's findings," Ryan wrote in a letter to Clapper obtained by ABC News. "I firmly believe this is necessary to reassure the public that our nation's secrets are secure."

Ryan also said in a news conference on Wednesday that Clinton should be denied access to classified information.

Speaker Ryan also reached out to the FBI's James Comey following the director's decision not to recommend prosecution.

"I have great respect for the professionals at the FBI," Ryan wrote in the letter to Comey. "However, many people -- myself included -- struggle to reconcile the case you made against Secretary Clinton with the decision against recommending prosecution."

Comey will testify today before the House Oversight Committee about the FBI investigation into Clinton's use of a homebrewed email server system to conduct classified government business.

The Clinton campaign criticized the Republican plans to continue an investigation in Clinton's email scandal.

“One week after their two-year investigation into the Benghazi attacks turned up nothing new, House Republicans are launching yet another taxpayer-funded sham of an inquiry to try to hurt Hillary Clinton politically,” Fallon said in a statement. “For weeks Republicans have said they trusted FBI Director Comey to lead an independent review into Secretary Clinton’s emails, but now they are second-guessing his judgment because his findings do not align with their conspiracy theories."
