Clinton entrusted far more than the care of her DC residence, known as Whitehaven, to Santos. She expected the Filipino immigrant
to handle state secrets, further opening the Democratic presidential nominee to criticism that she played fast and loose with national security.
Clinton would first receive highly sensitive e-mails from top aides at the State Department and then request that they, in turn,
forward the messages and any attached documents to Santos to print out for her at the home.
Among other things, Clinton requested Santos print out drafts of her speeches, confidential memos and “call sheets†— background information and talking points prepared for the secretary of state in advance of a phone call with a foreign head of state.
“
Pls ask Marina to print for me in am,†Clinton e-mailed top aide Huma Abedin regarding a redacted 2011 message marked sensitive but unclassified.
In a classified 2012 e-mail dealing with the new president of Malawi, another Clinton aide, Monica Hanley, advised Clinton, “
We can ask Marina to print this.â€
“Revisions to the Iran points†was the subject line of a classified April 2012 e-mail to Clinton from Hanley. In it, the text reads, “
Marina is trying to print for you.â€
Both classified e-mails were marked “confidential,†the tier below “secret†or “top secret.â€
Santos also had access to a highly secure room called an SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) that diplomatic security agents set up at Whitehaven, according to FBI notes from an interview with Abedin.
From within the SCIF, Santos —
who had no clearance — “collected documents from the secure facsimile machine for Clinton,†the FBI notes revealed.
Just how sensitive were the papers Santos presumably handled? The FBI noted Clinton periodically received the Presidential Daily Brief —
a top-secret document prepared by the CIA and other US intelligence agencies — via the secure fax.
