Hillary Clinton’s personal IT worker invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during a closed-door interview with the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Thursday because he’s concerned about getting ensnared in an “anti-Clinton frenzy.”
Bryan Pagliano’s decision to plead the fifth came as no surprise. His attorney informed the Benghazi Committee last week that his client would not testify about his work on Clinton’s private email server.
Maryland U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the Benghazi Committee, confirmed Pagliano’s decision to plead the fifth, saying that the IT worker “knows nothing about Benghazi.”
