While the House of Representatives is out this week, there is still plenty going on in Washington that we thought you'd be interested in.
Benghazi Report First, this morning the House Select Committee on Benghazi released their report. The total report is over 800 pages and you can find it on the Select Committee Website. Also of note, is an appendix submitted by Congressmen Jim Jordan and Mike Pompeo that provides additional views. Get a full copy of the report here.
From Senator Cruz's office: Today, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts, will convene a hearing titled ‘Willful Blindness: Consequences of Agency Efforts to Deemphasize Radical Islam in Combating Terrorism.’ The hearing will investigate how the federal government has not only refused to appropriately identify the specific threat of radical Islam, but how it has also sought to undermine the people who highlight this threat and the information they uncover.
