Congressman Cohen: Benghazi Hearing with Secretary Clinton Another Example of Wasteful, Partisan Antics

October 22, 2015

[Washington, D.C.] – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) today released the following statement regarding the House Benghazi Select Committee’s hearing with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“Even House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy has admitted the Benghazi Select Committee’s purpose is to damage Secretary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Using the deaths of four Americans as a political strategy is just wrong,” said Congressman Cohen.Today’s House Benghazi hearing was nothing more than political theater, and the committee has already wasted millions of taxpayer dollars gaining no new information than what was learned at the seven other committees that have investigated Benghazi.”
