Hoyer Statement on House Republicans' Benghazi Report
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after House Republicans on the Select Committee on Benghazi released a partisan report with no evidence of wrongdoing:
"The report issued today by Republicans on the Select Committee on Benghazi shows definitively that this has been a blatantly partisan exercise. The report does not present any new facts that contradict the conclusions from the previous eight investigations - including those authored by Republicans - that there was no coverup, there was no 'stand down' order, and that nothing could have been done differently the night of the attacks to save the lives of four brave Americans. Refuting the same partisan allegations again and again serves no positive purpose. Neither does spending millions to go after our military personnel and a presidential candidate. This tragedy has been thoroughly investigated, partisan allegations have been refuted, and security recommendations have been implemented.
"It is outrageous that Republicans spent $7 million on a political witch hunt. Shame on them for wasting taxpayer money and two years of Congress's time on this partisan investigation. Our nation deserves better."
