Former U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy, who led a congressional investigation into the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that ramped up controversy over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, said he “can’t wait” to leave Capitol Hill and politics behind.

Gowdy joined Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough as a partner Jan. 3 with his longtime colleagues Cindy Crick and Sheria Clarke, who are also lawyers.
