| Description | RICHMOND –Democrat Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA officer challenging Rep. Dave Brat (R) in Virginia’s 7th Congressional district, says a conservative super PAC aligned with House Speaker Paul Ryan illegally obtained sensitive personal information about her from a questionnaire she submitted to the federal government years ago while seeking security clearance.
“I write as a former civil servant and as an American, in shock and in anger, that you have tried to exploit my service to our country by exposing my most personal information in the name of politics,” Democrat Abigail Spanberger, wrote in a letter to the Congressional Leadership Fund, in which she demanded that the group destroy any copies of the form, which included her unredacted Social Security number and medical history.
CLF said it obtained a copy of the questionnaire legally — through a Freedom of Information request submitted by a GOP consultant. It provided a copy of the FOIA request and a reply from the Postal Service saying it was providing her personnel file in response. Spanberger worked as a postal inspector, job that also required security clearance, before joining the CIA. |
