Obama Skipped Intel Briefing the Day After Benghazi Attack
According to the upcoming report from the House Benghazi Committee, President Barack Obama skipped his personal daily intelligence briefing the day after the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
The revelation is buried in one of the appendices to the 800-page report released by the Republican-controlled committee Tuesday. According to the Executive Coordinator tasked with delivering the daily briefings, she first delivered the briefing to White House chief of staff Jack Lew. But instead of giving Obama a briefing, she gave the folder to a White House usher.
That day's briefing contained a sentence claiming "the presence of armed assailants from the outset suggests this was an intentional assault and not the escalation of a peaceful protest." In the following days, White House press secretary Jay Carney and U.N. ambassador Susan Rice claimed the attack was instead the result of a spontaneous protest of a YouTube video.
