Boehner to Set-Up Special Benghazi Committee, Wants Trey Gowdy to Lead
Pete Kasperowicz / The Blaze
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is set to announce the formation of a select committee to investigate the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
Boehner had been cool to the idea of forming a committee to probe the attacks that left four Americans dead, but sources close to the speaker say a new email released this week showing that the Obama administration sought to downplay initial reports of terrorism was the ”straw that broke the camel’s back.”
Boehner is said to be tired of the “continued obstruction” by the White House, and now wants a committee to fully investigate.
Sources said Boehner wants former prosecutor Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) to lead the committee, and that preference means Gowdy is likely to preside over the effort.
