Washington, DC – In the lead-up to Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin’s appearances before the Benghazi Committee, Kevin McCarthy and Richard Hanna—two House Republicans—have both confirmed that the Committee’s investigation is nothing more than a political farce designed to hurt Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

- Mike Pompeo said the inspections in the Iran nuclear deal was “like allowing a drug addict to submit his own specimen without any supervision.
- Mike Pompeo accused Planned Parenthood of selling fetal parts and call for its defunding.
