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."
