Hoyer Statement on the Democratic Benghazi Report
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after Democrats on the Select Committee on Benghazi released the report on their findings:
“Today, Democrats on the Select Committee on Benghazi released their report showing that our forces in Benghazi did their jobs to the best of their ability and that no new facts or evidence have come to light that would alter our understanding of what happened following eight other investigations. The Democratic report, complete with full transcripts of all interviews that were made available to them by the Republican Majority, comes in advance of the expected release of a partisan Republican report.
"Following on Majority Leader McCarthy’s admission that the Committee’s investigation is political, it should be no surprise that Republicans are about to release the Committee’s report just as general election campaigning is getting underway. After spending millions in taxpayer dollars to find no evidence of any wrongdoing by the Administration or by former Secretary Clinton, Republicans continue trying to use a national tragedy as a political attack. Doing so fails to honor the lives we lost and drags the victims’ families through unnecessary additional pain. I urge Republicans to disband the Benghazi Committee, accept the facts that have been uncovered, and cease using the Benghazi attacks to seek political advantage.”
