House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is getting his wish to revisit the events in Benghazi Libya last year, when the consulate was attacked and U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed.
At a White House news conference last week, President Obama was asked if he was suppressing the testimony of state department officials critical of the administration’s handling of security at the Benghazi consulate and their handling of the aftermath of the attacks. The president denied that and claimed he would find out more.
