CORRECT THE RECORD STATEMENT ON RELEASE OF SECRETARY CLINTON’S BENGHAZI EMAILS
Washington, DC – In response to the State Department’s release of Secretary Clinton’s emails pertaining to the tragedy in Benghazi, Brad Woodhouse, President of Correct The Record, gave the following statement.
_
“Today’s release of Secretary Clinton’s emails is consistent with and only reinforces the findings of the previous nine Congressional committees and multiple independent reviews that have looked into this matter: There was no Obama Administration wrongdoing on Benghazi. Moreover, the State Department has reiterated that the emails ‘do not change the essential facts or our understanding of the events before, during, or after the attacks.’
“The record shows that Secretary Clinton took responsibility for the tragedy in Benghazi; she took action to ensure that such attacks don’t happen again; and she’s been fully transparent throughout. Secretary Clinton produced all of her work emails to the State Department and has called for all 55,000 pages of them, including these Benghazi-related emails, to be made public in an unprecedented act of transparency.
“Now that the public can see that Secretary Clinton’s emails do not materially change the outcome of prior investigations that found no evidence of wrongdoing by President Obama or Secretary Clinton, it’s time for Chairman Gowdy to conclude his inquiry before it is further exposed as a partisan political exercise at taxpayers’ expense.”
Correct The Record is a strategic research and rapid response team designed to defend Hillary Clinton from right-wing, baseless attacks. Correct the Record runs the Benghazi Research Center website and has worked for the past year to hold Benghazi Committee Republicans accountable for using the Benghazi tragedy for political gain.
