GOP Rep: Congress Will Launch Investigation Based On 'Clinton Cash' Book

On “The Sam Malone Show(link is external)” this week, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Tex., said that Congress will launch an investigation into Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation based on the findings of the book “Clinton Cash,” in which right-wing activist Peter Schweizer suggests that the former secretary of state used her role in the State Department to benefit foundation donors.

The book has faced a bevy of criticism for its sloppy(link is external) reporting(link is external) and false(link is external) allegations(link is external), but Poe told(link is external) Malone that “Congress will investigate yet one more scandal. We need to hire a whole department just to investigate the Clintons and the Clinton scandals. There is going to be some investigation about it.”

Poe accused the Justice Department of unfairly investigating Tea Party groups such as True the Vote, time he said would have been better spent investigating the Clinton family.
