. >> gowdy is responding to allegations published earlier this week that raymond maxwell, a former deputyssistant secretary of state has firsthand information about an effort in the fall of 2012 to scrub the benghazi documents of damaging information that would implicate then-secretary of state hillary clinton and her close aides. but a senior democrat says he's puzzled by the new allegations. >> maxwell was interviewed by our committee, the oversight of government reform committee, he was called as a witness and he never talked about this. he had plenty of opportunities to do it. >> the republican chairman also says they found[nfor overwhelmi evidence that benghazi was a preplanned and premeditated terrorist attack and he hinted in strong terms that susan rice who blames an obscure anti-muslim video on the talk shows and michael morel who edited the talking points will be called as witnesses. >> when you were given an opportunity to pick between choice "a" and choice "b," you always seem to pick the scenario that was most favorable to the administration. why? ra and why were you concerne

. >> do you have any response to raymond maxwell's comments from yesterday that he, while deputy at thee department saw the clinton aides separating out documents? he was interviewed several times by oversight, by foreign relations. apparently he said this before, but it's the first time it has come out. were you aware of maxwell making this claim -- >> maxwell was interviewed by our committee. he was called by mr. -- chairman issa as a witness. he never talked about this. he had plenty of opportunities to do it. he didn't. but keep in mind, we have allegations seem to come out every week. mr. schiff just talked about the three contractors who also had been interviewed. they then come out with these standdown allegations. but again, mr. maxwell did not bring that to our attention when we interviewed him. we interviewed him extensively. extensively. and so, that is my answer to that. anybody else? yes. >> for a few months i know you've had conversations, obviously, with the chairman. is there any indication in those conversations between staff that this is going to be more substantive th

a man named raymond maxwell a former assistant secretary of state who was disciplined for the benghazibassador chris stevens was killed by terrorists has told an investigative report their mrs. clinton's staff may have removed documents pertinent to the investigation. the state department spokesperson marie harf denied that yesterday calling the accusation without merit. joining us now from washington, fox news chief washington correspondent, james rosen. cheryl, what do we know for sure here? what's in fact because this is a disgruntled former state department official. he does have an ax to grind, so what do we know for sure? >> he was never charged with anything and was put on paid leave, was cleared, came back and retired. what we know is he's a very well respected 21-year foreign service officer who supported president obama, in fact personally contributed to his campaign, who was caught up in this benghazi controversy. and the deputy assistant secretary that handled libya, it was his office that put together documents when the accountability review board called for them and he di

the person that said the documents are being shredded his name is raymond maxwell. he was the head of the east bureau. that's very clear. secondly, secondly on this which is very clear on this -- >> it's clear as mud. >> information has been withheld. it's taken court orders to get. the fact of the matter is, there's a famous line that hillary clinton used when she said are you ready for the 3:00 a.m. wake up of the call? >> in politics that was -- >> let's bring it back to 2014 and the future. one of the things that is a fact, and this, i can say is a fact regardless of the political persuasion is the nrc is actually fundraising off benghazi. do you not see a very clear political motivation behind this when the republicans. look right there. it's not me saying it. benghazi was a cover up. give us some dough. >> but any time there's a controversy, any time in an administration -- >> let's talk about this -- >> any time in my view the american people see the president who was stone walling for brazen political reasons on this issue just to win the election. i think i

you heard the story right here, broken by sheryl atkinson, and raymond maxwell accusing staff membersf hillaryfa!oz clinton secretly removing politically damaging documents before turning over files to the accountability review board. our next guest said we should believe maxwell, and peter is here to tell us why. good evening. >> good evening. thank you for having me. >> you have spoken to at least at some time to mr. maxwell, is that correct? >> yes, i have. >> do you believe him? >> i do. i believe him because he is credible. he is a state department person who served his country for a number of years both in the military and inside the state he's the kind of person who would think very carefully about what he was going to say, who would try to defend the institution in hopes it would c he's the kind of person who would consider very carefully what he had to say and what he has said tracks. the pla3$p'r he's described, th people he said were there, the actions that they took, are things that make sense to me as a former state department employee. >> am i correct when you move aroun

secretary raymond maxwell is alleging that hillary clinton confidantes were part of an operation to takectually turned over to the arb for review. so a lot of people then asking, wait a second. where is the truth in this? was this a cover-up? these are major accusations right now. >> yeah. so lieutenant colonel tony schaefer joins us earlier and talked about what's at stake with this conference. democrats said there is nothing going on there. and also talked about what is yet to be revealed. there is a final 15% which might be the most damning. listen. >> i think what happened was anything that had direct -- someone putting pen to paper showing they saw it was completely pulled out. that's what the accountability review board should have been focused on most viciously. about 15% of issues, items and specific incidents and people involved who we don't know yet. we're getting close to the end here, but this last 15% will be the most difficult to get to because all roads lead to principle officers. >> okay. and who those principle officers are, finally -- despite the fact, brian, you're rig

raymond maxwell worked at the state department and apparently he's got quite a story to tell. what did you learn yesterday? >> we learned the arb panel was not in any way independent. todd kyle with whom up served 23 years in the state department. he was on the security detail for christopher and albright. he says the independent' commission was anything but. bill: who picked the arb? who picked that panel? >> the reason it's not independent is it was hand picked. if you are being investigated you don't typically get to pick your investigators and also call it interest. bill: true or false. the state department denied multiple requests by personnel on the ground for additional security. >> true. and it's worse. they were not only allowed additional help coming to benghazi, it was reduced. bill: is that a fact? >> i. ement d. attacks, assassination attempts on the british ambassador. the request for send the more good guys, we need more security. what they had was reduced. bill: is it true they ignored their own safety standard. >> previously the standard after the by route bom

bill: do you know the name raymond maxwell? >> i do. bill: are you eager to hear his story?his week we found out that he apparently he alleges now that there were members of the state department that were in some sort of coverup trying to you hide anything that would defame or come back to injure hillary clinton or other leading in the members of the department of state. is that a story you are familiar with? and will we hear that from your committee, that story? >> you bring up exactly the reason this committee exists. we continue to have people come talk to the committee about things that have not been fully investigated. issues like are all the document available for dong review. are all the witnesses with factual information presented themselves. mr. maxwell's allegations will be part of what we are doing. we have dozens of folks who have come forward to talk to us about these kinds of things to make sure we have it fully scoped. mr. maxwell is part of that mosaic. we'll look forward to talking to him and every single person we can get our hands on that has relevant fact
