Benghazi committee Democrats demand release of Blumenthal transcript

Rep. Elijah Cummings, the ranking member on the House Select Committee on Benghazi, blasted the Republican chairman for leaking the existence of new Benghazi-related emails before consulting with Democrats Monday evening.

“Chairman [Trey] Gowdy did not contact me, other Democratic members, or anyone on our staff before issuing his press release, nor did he contact the State Department to clarify why its production of Benghazi-related emails might have differences from Mr. [Sidney] Blumenthal’s production of Libya-related documents,” the Maryland Democrat said Tuesday.
