Hearing Continues To Seek Truth About Benghazi Attack
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans who insist the Obama administration is covering up information about last year's deadly assault in Libya say their goal is to get answers.
WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 08: Family members of Americans killed during the September 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya talk with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) prior to the start of a hearing titled, "Benghazi: Exposing Failure and Recognizing Courage" before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Capitol Hill May 8, 2013 in Washington, DC. Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) is leading the GOP investigation of the September 11, 2012 assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, which is now focused on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. | Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images
Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said Wednesday that the three State Department witnesses at the hearing deserve to be heard.
The Sept. 11 attack at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Nearly eight months later, Republicans continue to investigate despite an exhaustive independent review and hours of testimony from senior administration officials.
