Eric Bradner, CNN: How secretive is the Trans-Pacific Partnership?

Washington (CNN)Two copies of the biggest free trade deal in history are sitting in reading rooms -- one at each end of the Capitol.

The document is classified. Only members of Congress and staffers with security clearance can access it. And they can't make copies or even carry their own handwritten notes out the door.

This is how trade negotiations work. Fearful that they'll undercut their own negotiators, leaders of the countries involved don't want the details of what they're hashing out revealed until the full package is completed. And it's at the heart of the biggest criticism opponents of the deal have made publicly: the secrecy surrounding it.
