House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Abstract
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform provide a status report on the investigation into the U.S. government's response to the 2012 attacks on American personnel and facilities in Benghazi. The committee reviewed tens of thousands of pages of classified and unclassified documents, 16 transcribed interviews, and one deposition. The report found that the ARB was one of the most comprehensive reviews ever undertaken, the accusation of the U.S. military of withholding assets is unfounded, Benghazi lacked adequate security in part because it was a temporary post, and the Department must ensure that the ARB's recommendations to improve security are fully implemented.
