Ex-Benghazi Committee Staffer: ‘This Has Become a Partisan Investigation’

Former investigator for the House Select Benghazi Committee Bradley Podliska said on CNN’s State of the Union that he was fired for trying to conduct a nonpartisan investigation into the attacks.

Podlinska, who also alleges that he was fired for taking time off as a member of the Air Force Reserve, says the investigation began as nonpartisan. But he claims he was fired for refusing to go along with the committee’s decision to only focus on Hillary Clinton.

“I was fired for trying to conduct an objective nonpartisan, thorough investigation,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

“This has become a partisan investigation,” Podlinska added. “I do not know the reason for the hyper-focus on Hillary Clinton.”
