SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The Navy denied Chelsea Clinton permission to campaign on a former bombing range on the outlying island of Vieques. The range was closed in April 2003 after years of protests over two errant bombs that killed a security guard.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign wanted to use the site as a setting to discuss the New York Democratic senator’s plan to clean up the land and hand over some parcels to local residents. But Navy spokeswoman Lt. Lara Bollinger said no one is allowed to campaign on federal property.
