Cruz moves to fine State Department for illegally withholding key Iran report
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is seeking to fine the State Department for illegally withholding the release of a key report on Iranian human rights abuses that was supposed to be released earlier this year, but was withheld, according to sources, in order to appease Iran as negotiations over its nuclear program approach a June 30 deadline.
The Obama administration was legally obligated to release a full report outlining the state of Iranian human rights by Feb. 25 but has so far declined to do so.
Cruz and other senators petitioned the State Department in May to comply with federal law compelling the report’s public release.

Cruz's effort won't get anywhere because it is Obama sycophants making the decision, and the liberal media won't give the effort any coverage, but nonetheless, more power to him.
