Hoyer Statement on the Second Anniversary of the Select Committee on Benghazi
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on the second anniversary of the creation of the Select Committee on Benghazi by House Republicans:
"Today marks two years since Republicans formed a committee with the goal of, in Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy's words, bringing down Hillary Clinton's poll numbers. Over these past two years, nearly $7 million in taxpayer money has been wasted, and no new information has been found. Instead, Republicans have tried to shut Democrats out of the process and have selectively released transcripts to suit their partisan purposes. To politicize such a tragedy is shameful. It is long past time for this committee to be shut down."
