Democrats in the U.S. House are calling on the Republican majority to release interview transcripts from a special committee's investigation of the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
Democrats on the committee criticize the investigation as a partisan attack on former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is now the party's leading presidential contender. Democrats, in their letter sent Monday to Trey Gowdy, the South Carolina Republican chairman of the committee, released portions of a private interview with Cheryl Mills, who had served as Clinton's chief of staff at the State Department.
"It has become obvious that the only way to adequately correct the public record is to release the complete transcript of the Committee's interview with Ms. Mills," wrote Reps. Elijah Cummings, Adam Smith, and Adam Schiff.
