McCaul Statement on Formation of a Select Committee on Benghazi

WASHINGTON, DC – Today following Speaker Boehner's announcement the House will vote on forming a Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi terror attacks of September 11, 2012, Congressman Michael McCaul, Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, released the following statement.

McCaul: "Congress must continue to investigate what happened in Libya leading up to the attack on our special mission in Benghazi and in the aftermath. Tragically, we still do not have answers as to how it could have happened, what exactly occurred in the critical response hours, and why the White House was so quick to blame the attack on a video. We owe it to the victims, their families and the American people to find out the truth. We must have justice, and we must have accountability. It is my hope a Select Committee will produce both."
