Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10) released the following statement after a U.S. district court ruled the Treasury must turn over a majority of documents regarding the bailout of General Motors the Obama Administration exercised executive privilege on:
“A large group of salaried retires of Delphi were wrongfully harmed by the Obama Administration. For the last eight years, I have worked to expose the unfairness of the situation. These 20,000 people deserve answers. Today’s ruling brings us one step closer to uncover what really happened in that government bailout.”
