Exclusive: Ex-Benghazi investigator alleges Rep. Gowdy violated federal law

[kpete]

“The legal battle between the House Benghazi Committee and its former investigator, Todd Podliska, escalated Monday afternoon, when Podliska’s lawyers alleged that Chairman Trey Gowdy violated government confidentiality rules and federal law,” MSNBC reports.


“Both Representative Gowdy and the committee have clearly violated terms of the confidentiality agreement and the Congressional Accountability Act,” said Peter Romer-Friedman, one of Podlska’s attorneys, to MSNBC on Monday afternoon. They allege the South Carolina Republican and the committee released confidential information regarding Podliska’s mediation in the employment dispute.

............

Gowdy has categorically denied Podliska’s allegations that he was fired from the committee in part because he resisted its effort to target Hillary Clinton, and asserted that Podliska was actually terminated for his own errors on the job, including the mishandling of classified information.

.............

The lawyers allege that Gowdy and the committee improperly released confidential information regarding an employment dispute with Podliska, in an effort to discredit him....

“The only way, in our view, that those docs and the information Gowdy shared could be made public is through the majority staff of the committee or Chairman Gowdy,” they told MSNBC.
