May 2, 2014
‘The Obama administration's ongoing reluctance to provide information and documentation voluntarily to the American people and their representatives has created the need for additional action by the House of Representatives.’
LOUISVILLE, KY – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell issued the following statement today regarding Speaker Boehner’s decision to establish a select committee to investigate the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks:
“The Obama administration's ongoing reluctance to provide information and documentation voluntarily to the American people and their representatives has created the need for additional action by the House of Representatives. I respect the Speaker's judgment and decision to establish a select committee--particularly in light of the involuntary release this week of additional White House communications.”
