Rep. Mike Pompeo: Our Committee Has Much More Information on Benghazi

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has already testified twice concerning the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the Benghazi, Libya diplomatic compound, Rep. Mike Pompeo said Thursday, but this time it's different because thousands of pages of documents that other committees did not have access to have now been made available.

"We've now received thousands and thousands of pages of documents about her actions, the actions of her staff, actions that took place all across the united States government," said the Kansas Republican, a member of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, on CNN's "New Day" program before Clinton took the stand.

The committee has the benefit of interviewing dozens of people who other committees "never took the time to interview," said Pompeo. "So we have a great deal of more information. I think we'll be able ask her questions that advance the story of how these four men were murdered on her watch."

Democrats say they had access to tens of thousands of pages of documents, CNN host Chris Cuomo told him, and Pompeo admitted he may have misspoke if he said they had none.

"We have a great deal of information and a lot more fidelity about what happened that day," he said. "It's not even close. We received 900 pages of documents yesterday afternoon. There are emails from Ambassador (Christopher) Stevens three-and-a-half years after the events. It's not remotely reasonable to say that the previous committees had any opportunity to have the facts in front of them."

The committee still does not have all the information, he said, "but we'll do our best to show the American people what it is we're trying to do in order to make sure that something like this never happens again."

Meanwhile, Pompeo said he is not at liberty to speak about all the people the committee has spoken with or the ones who will face questions after Thursday.

"A lot of people seem to think this investigation ends today," said Pompeo. "It does not."
