glenn doherty and mr. woods. that would eventually of the mortar attacks had taken place at 7:15 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. or even at lunchtime on the 12th. because at the time those two americans were killed, not a single wheel of a single u.s. military asset had even turned toward libya. our report starts with the attack and there is a section on the post-attack communication between the government and the american citizenry and there is a section on pre-attack decisions made and not made which led to the environment which made our facility vulnerable. it is always better to be the first committee to investigate. it is always better to investigate as contemporaneously to an event as can be done. our committee did not have the luxury of either one of those. we began a year and a half after the incident. but collectively and individually, all seven of us believe there are more questions asked, there are more answers to acquire, more witnesses to acquire, more documents to access, and this report validates that bel

glenn doherty was on that plane from tripoli to benghazi. and, glenn doherty not only flew from tripoli to benghazi but he negotiated at the airport with libyans that were supposed to be our friends to get to the annex so he could help defend that facility. and, he got there just in time to join his fellow navy seal tyrone woods minutes before they both died. it has been said that nothing could have reached benghazi before the lethal border attacks and i suppose what is meant by that is nothing other than the two unarmed drones and the team from tripoli that deployed in -- itself.

glenn doherty was on that plane from tripoli to benghazi and he benghaziflew to th with libyans who were supposed to be our friends to get to the and so he could help defend the facility and he got there. just in time to join his fellow navy seal, tyrone woods, minutes before they both died. it has been said that nothing could have reached benghazi before the lethal border attacks. and i suppose what is meant by that is nothing other than the two unarmed drones and the team from tripoli that deployed themselves. what is missing from the analysis, each is straightforward to those who have investigated that, is that nothing could get to benghazi toause nothing was headed benghazi. no u.s. military asset was deployed, despite the order of the secretary of defense at 7:00 that night. so washington had access to real-time information but somehow, they thought the fighting had subsided. washington had access to real-time information but they thought these fighters were going to evacuate. even without the remains of the ambassador. and without asking, how is that evacuation supposed to be effec

ambassador chris stevens, the state department officer shawn smith, and former navy s.e.a.l.s glenn doherty and tyrone woods. hillary clinton today says the report did nothing to contradict the findings of earlier investigations. >> so while this unfortunately took on a partisan tinge, i want us to stay focused on what i've always wanted us to stay focused on, and that is the important work of diplomacy and development. that's especially true in dangerous places. >> secretary clinton also said the best way to honor americans who died is to provide more resources and support to our diplomats. the white house today blasted house republicans for using the investigation as a tool to attack hillary clinton calling it a political exercise. for their part republicans offer no smoking gun against the democratic presidential hopeful, asking americans to please read the report and draw your own conclusions. the chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge live in washington. catherine? >> shep, the american majority report identifies for the first time a key white house meeting on september 11

glenn doherty was on that plane from tripoli to benghazi and glenn doherty-- >> that's trey gowdy, the the benghazi committee. the report released this morning, a huge, blistering attack on the obama administration, particularly with respect to how they said this thing was, let's face it, potentially covered up with the insistence it was due to a video and kt mcfarland is still with us. when he says two unarmed drones showed up an and team that heroically made it there from tripoli. no response interest this administration while a u.s. ambassador anders were killed. >>, during the attack itself. our military men and women wanted to rescue and were prevent from doing that. and when it's over, hillary clinton avoids blame and denies what the cause was. a real leader steps up, and a cowa coward-- and to me she failed that. charles: later on in the hour with this on hillary clinton who by the way admits it bothers her that so many people don't trust her. we're going to talk about that as well. jonah, two things, first, let's talk about this trey gowdy thing for a moment. the report, a blis

they were dead within 15 minutes, with respect to glenn doherty and woods, three assets made it theree group that deployed itself, an unarmed drone that was elsewhere in position over the facility and another unarmed drone, let's just say the evidence is split on whether it could have been before the border attack. so i won't make a reckless allegation but what i will tell you is if it happened at 7:150915 or 11:15 the result would have been the same. nothing was ever coming to benghazi. that is an important question to ask. and email sticks out in my mind, a takeout from the white house meeting which by the way if you know about it nobody reported on it so democrats claim there is no new information i haven't heard much about this white house meeting until report was issued. what are the takeouts from that? to our white house meeting? in addition to the five action items on the video consider this. the video had been out for a wild. it wasn't news. cairo had happened. it happened before benghazi. if you were concerned about this video you have done absolutely nothing after you receiv

ambassador chris stevens, sean smith, glenn doherty, and tyrone woods did represent our very best, and their loss is a tragedy that remains with us. our thoughts always remain with their family and their friends, those that knew them, those that worked with them, and we work hard every day since this terrible event to learn lessons from benghazi and to internalize those lessons, and by that i mean, notably, in addressing security concerns. specifically to your question about the report, i will just say that we believe that the essential facts surrounding the 2012 attacks in benghazi have been known for some time. there have been numerous reviews. including, as you all well know, the accountability review board report that was released, i think more than three years ago. there have been seven congressional committees, and that includes the house permanent select committee on intelligence, and the senate select committee on intelligence. and, so, all of these, we believe, have reached many of the same conclusions about the events surrounding the tragedy in benghazi, and we have been work
