On Friday afternoon Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy revealed the State Department had finally complied with subpoenas for documents issued last year. Gowdy’s press release says State turned over “1,100 pages of records, including files stored on network folders used by senior employees within the Office of the Secretary, and emails from Cheryl Mills, Jake Sullivan, Huma Abedin, Susan Rice, and Patrick Kennedy.” Gowdy also took a swipe at Democrats who he says “never lifted a finger” to help get the records.

Gowdy has been fighting with Democrats on the committee, led by ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, for months. Last month Gowdy refused to hand over documents generated by the committee after Cummings failed to promise the information would not be selectively leaked to the media.

 

The Select Committee plans to release its complete findings this summer.
