Did Priebus and Trump have to get credentials in order to hold a political meeting at the US Capital?

I wasn't going to comment on this mess. But, I have an objection so here it is. I find it astounding a political meeting took place in the US Capital in the US Speaker's Office. This was completely outside the bounds of an organized and registered caucus within the US House. Caucus frequently use meeting rooms in the US Capital because it involves many elected officials with SECURITY CLEARANCES.

I realize Donald Trump as a Presidential Nominee must have a degree of security clearance. If Priebus has a national security clearance to the level that the US House Speaker has clearance I'll vehemently object.

What next, a convention?
