The Washington Free Beacon, which has broken several scoops related to Hillary Clinton, has been banned from using the Clinton archive at the University of Arkansas:

The Clinton Archive at the University of Arkansas Library. Not the Clinton Library holding the records of the Bill Clinton Presidency. Different institutions.
Still significant, the University of Arkansas Library is a state run organization and banning documents on political grounds is bad scholarship if not illegal activity.
WHICH UofA?
Fayetteville?
Little Rock?
Monticello?
Pine Bluff?
Fort Smith?
