An unnamed “senior aide” to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton left classified information unsecured and unattended in a hotel room during a 2010 trip to China, one of several overseas lapses by Clinton’s inner circle, Fox News has learned.
“In May 2010, Secretary Clinton was on official travel in Beijing, China, accompanied by senior staff. Upon Secretary Clinton’s departure, a routine security sweep by Diplomatic Security agents identified classified documents in a staff member’s suite,” State Department spokesman John Kirby told Fox News in a statement, issued several weeks after a Freedom of Information Act request was filed with the agency.
Diplomatic Security, which protects the Secretary of State in the U.S. and abroad, as well as high-ranking foreign dignitaries and officials visiting the United States, wrote up the incident on a Form 117, while the Marine Security Guards filed a separate formal report, the source said.
The information came to light when the FBI was investigating whether Clinton or her staff violated the US Espionage Act by mishandling classified and top secret information.
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., citing a whistleblower who separately came to him with an allegation it was Clinton who left the material out, wrote to the FBI director on Monday asking for more information.
“I …understand that former Secretary Clinton left classified documents in her hotel room in China and that U.S. Marine Corps security officials filed a report related to the possible compromise of the documents,” Nunes wrote to FBI director James Comey.

I don’t remember anyone being prosecuted for anything like this?? It must be a Fake Story./s
When OTHERS suffer, it's abstract. It's like it didn't happen.
What an incompetent boob (hey...that’s not sexist, is it???).
That’s the same month ... May 2010... that Obama leaked the size of the US nuclear arsenal.
Also the same month Bradley “Chelsea” Manning slapped a superior officer when he was caught swiping classified material
Suite? Sounds like Huma was doing a document drop for a Clinton Foundation donor.
Holy crap.
I don’t get why people don’t see this kind of irresponsible behavior as TREASON.
Irresponsible? Looks intentional to me.
The incidents noted are just the times they got caught...and pretended it was a mistake.
How many other “drops” were netted by foreign agents without being detected?
Right. Not irresponsible, criminal.
Then Hillary’s talking point about being in foreign countries like Russia and China and having to take the batteries out of the phones and leave all of it on the plane. There’s a picture of her in Russia walking while on her blackberry.
