But Chaffetz also expressed frustration at the Trump administration for not providing his committee with documents related to the Benghazi investigation. He said President Trump’s grace period for filling top positions and working with his committee will expire next month.

“The documentation, subpoenas and letters still have not been fulfilled. And I buy the idea that there should be some time to get new people in place, but as we turn the corner into April, there’s a huge attitude adjustment that is happening in the Oversight Committee,” Chaffetz said.

Chaffetz slammed the Obama administration for claiming they will transparent and open, saying officials gave his committee the stiff arm during his investigation into the Benghazi attack.

“It continues to amaze me how you have administrations that have people that wake up everyday and think, ‘Oh, my job is to make sure Congress and the American people don’t see this information.’”

Chaffetz lamented that Congress does not have the ability to require individuals to appear if subpoenaed, referring to an aide of Clinton's who repeatedly avoided testifying.

“Congress has been somewhat impotent in its ability to enforce subpoenas,” Chaffetz added.
