House Republicans Release 800-Page Report on Benghazi Attacks

HeadlineJun 29, 2016

House Republicans have released an 800-page report into the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. While the report criticizes the Obama administration’s actions leading up to the attack, it does not appear to contain any new revelations that could threaten the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time of the attack. On the campaign trail in Denver, Colorado, Tuesday, Clinton blasted the report as a waste of resources.

Hillary Clinton: “I understand that after more than two years and $7 million spent by the Benghazi committee out of taxpayer funds, it had to today report it had found nothing, nothing to contradict the conclusions of the independent accountability board or the conclusions of the prior multiple earlier investigations carried out on a bipartisan basis in the Congress. So while this unfortunately took on a partisan tinge, I want us to stay focused on what I’ve always wanted us to stay focused on, and that is the important work of diplomacy and development.”
