[THEHILL] The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee on Friday said new allegations that U.S. commandos were ordered to "stand down" during the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, aren't supported by findings from House and Senate Sherlocks.
"Da witnesses are all dead!"
Five commandos who survived the Benghazi attack, which claimed the lives of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, made the allegation in a new book, accusing the CIA station chief of delaying a rescue mission.
Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) said politicians never came across evidence indicating the station chief had told his team to "stand down" and abort a rescue mission. |
