Chairman McCaul Releases Statement on Rewards For Justice for Benghazi Terror Suspects

WASHINGTON, DC- Today Congressman Michael McCaul, who represents Texas’ 10th Congressional district and serves as Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, released the following statement regarding the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program for the Benghazi terror suspects.

Chairman McCaul: "Sixteen months after the attack on Benghazi, the State Department has finally posted publicly a Reward for Justice for the terrorists who killed our ambassador and three other Americans. While the State Department claims it first offered the reward one year ago, the fact it took public pressure and a formal congressional inquiry for the reward to be publicized is consistent with this administration's efforts to downplay the growing threat to Americans by terrorists driven by a radical ideology. Ultimately we cannot defeat an enemy we are unwilling to acknowledge.”
