GWEN IFILL:
After years of investigations, interviews, and hearings, the House special committee looking into the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, released 800 pages of findings today.
The assault, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, slams the Obama administration for lax security and a sluggish response, but it doesn't lay blame at then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's doorstep.
Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy, the panel's chairman, said Clinton, now the Democrats' presumptive presidential nominee, was never the focus of the inquiry.
REP. TREY GOWDY (R), Chairman, House Select Committee on Benghazi: Speaker Boehner asked me to find out what happened to four of our fellow citizens, and I believe that that is what I have done.
You are welcome to read that report. I hope you will. I know you will. If you at the end of reading that report can conclude that it is about one person, instead of about four people, I will be shocked. I think the American people ought to look at it. They ought to look at it because fellow Americans died and fellow Americans were injured and fellow Americans went to heroic lengths to save other Americans. What conclusions they draw after reading it is up to them.
