THE HILL: Senate GOP leader: Release Clinton’s FBI interview.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) wants Hillary Clinton’s interview with the FBI made public as GOP lawmakers demand more information on the investigation into her private email server.
“It’s pretty clear … that the American people would like to see what Hillary Clinton said to the FBI,” McConnell told reporters during his weekly press conference.
McConnell and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) noted that lying to the agency was a punishable offense.
“There’s no particular penalty for lying to the public, unless the public get tired of it, but there’s a real penalty for lying about the FBI,” McConnell said.
McConnell’s comments came after Cornyn voiced support for releasing any information tied to the FBI’s probe, including the 3.5-hour interview that took place days before Comey’s announcement.
“Only when we get the complete investigation out, including that three-and-a-half hour interview with the FBI, will the American people have the information they need in order to make a final judgement,” the Senate’s No. 2 Republican said.
Indeed.
