Nancy Pelosi has officially chosen five House Democrats to serve on the House select committee on Benghazi, alongside the seven Republicans already serving. This comes on the heels of a report that after hesitation on the matter, the Democrats would fully participate in the Benghazi hearings to make it a fairer process.
A press release from Pelosi’s office lists the five Democrats who will participate: Elijah Cummings, Adam Smith, Adam Schiff, Linda Sanchez, and Tammy Duckworth.
These Democrats will join the committee process headed by Republican Trey Gowdy, a decisive turnaround after rumblings from Democratic leaders that they should boycott the Benghazi hearings out of protest that the Republicans want to keep making an issue out of it.
