Former GOP Rep. Darrell Issa accused Sen. Bob Menendez today of trying to smear him to sink his nomination to be the next director of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency
Rep. Darrell Issa on Thursday accused Sen. Robert Menendez of trying to smear him to sink his nomination to be the next director of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency.
“Sen. Menendez in open hearing refused to settle for asking me questions from that briefing ... and in fact was alleging that I was not qualified because of things that he saw in my record from when I was 17 years old,” Issa said. When asked for comment, a spokesperson for Menendez pointed to the senator’s comments at the Foreign Relations Committee hearing. Menendez, at the hearing, said every member on the committee should be able to review the information in Issa’s background file.
Issa, who retired from Congress this year, is reportedly considering a run against Rep. Duncan Hunter , who is facing federal public corruption charges. When asked why he was pursuing the administration role if he planned to challenge Hunter, Issa replied: “I want to serve my country.”
