Scandals—What Scandals?

On May 8, three highly respected State Department officials who were in Libya at the time the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was attacked on September 11 testified under oath before a House committee in Washington. Based on their sworn testimony, U.S. officials in Benghazi on that fateful night knew it was a terrorist attack from the start. But these requests for Washington to send help were rejected—basically because the White House would not accept the fact that what happened in Benghazi had been a premeditated act of terrorism.
