Former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, who led the Republican investigation into Hillary Clinton and the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, will help defend Pres. Trump as he faces the Democratic-led impeachment investigation.
Former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, a colorful congressman who led the Republican investigation into Hillary Clinton and the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, will help defend President Donald Trump as he faces the Democratic-led impeachment investigation.
It was unclear what specific role Gowdy would play in the current White House strategy of not cooperating with the investigation, but when word got out that he was being considered, a television clip from 2012 surfaced showing him saying it is"wrong" to withhold documents from Congress regardless of politics.
As chair of the House committee tasked with investigating the 2012 terrorist attack on an American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, Gowdy vaulted into the national spotlight for his intense and critical questions about whether then- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could have prevented the attack or dealt with it more effectively.
"Rep. Gowdy’s tenure in Congress made a mockery of Congressional oversight and his eagerness to use the deaths of brave Americans overseas in service of his partisan, political goals is a dark and shameful chapter in the history of the House of Representatives," DCCC Deputy Communications Director Patrick Burgwinkle wrote.
