House withholds 700 million from State Department.

This person doesn't like it. Nita Lowery, NY, ranking Democrat on the subcommittee said,

The proposed 15 percent cut to the State Department’s operating funds if officials don’t feed the sham investigation of Benghazi is simply atrocious.”

 Jamal Ware, a Republican spokesman on the Benghazi panel said,

“What is it exactly they are afraid the people will find? All this provision does is withhold some non-security related funds until State Department implements a plan to assure policy decisions are transparent to the public.” 

This happened Thursday afternoon. The House approved a bill withholding half a billion dollars from State Department budget until they deliver the requested emails and documents to congress and address the backlog of Freedom of Information Act requests. Once they do then the House will release the money.
