Boehner doesn’t think a select committee is necessary despite what 117 House members believe:
NEWSMAX – House Speaker John Boehner Monday defended the way he has handled the investigation into last year’s attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, insisting a select committee is not needed to probe the incident.
The Ohio Republican told the media that he has resisted lawmakers’ calls for a select committee because he doesn’t think one is necessary.
“The five committees that have jurisdiction over this matter are working closely together,” said Boehner. “They’re getting the job done.”
As of Monday, The Hill reports, 117 of Boehner’s fellow lawmakers have signed onto a resolution from Republican Rep. Frank Wolf of Virginia, seeking a select committee. However, Boehner, defending his handling into the Benghazi incident, said it would be a waste of time and money, a claim backed by leaders of the Oversight, Foreign Affairs, Armed Services, Intelligence, and Judiciary committees.
