Nancy Pelosi: GOP Would Attack Hillary for Her Hair

Nancy Pelosi today defended Hillary Clinton from the “political investigation” conducted by a House committee into her sole use of personal email as Secretary of State. Trey Gowdy, the head of the House Special Committee on Benghazi, wants Clinton to testify both on Benghazi and the emails.

But as Pelosi told reporters earlier today, “I have a concern that this isn’t really about emails, it’s about a partisan investigation by a select committee that has spent millions of dollars [and] produced nothing.”

Pelosi essentially rolled her eyes at the GOP’s attempts to investigate Clinton, “whatever the subject, whether it’s her emails or it’s her hair or whatever it happens to be.”

She said the committee should consider precedent with how past Secretaries of State conducted themselves and called the whole thing “a big waste of taxpayer money.”
