Benghazi Dem defends Clinton aide's decision to plead the Fifth

Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House Select Committee on Benghazi, blasted Donald Trump, Scott Walker and Mike Huckabee, among others, for their “onslaught of reckless accusations” about Hillary Clinton’s private emails Wednesday in his defense of a Clinton aide’s decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment right to refuse questions about the server.

Bryan Pagliano, the former State Department official who was reportedly responsible for Clinton’s private server, told the select committee through his attorney that he did not plan to answer questions about his involvement with the server given “the current political environment.”
