John McCain, Lindsey Graham Press Obama: Where Were You During Benghazi Terrorist Attack?

Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) wrote to Obama Friday to ask him simply: Where were you during the Benghazi attack?

They referenced ex-National Security Council (NSC) spokesman Tommy Vietor’s appearance on the Fox News Channel Thursday evening, when Vietor said on national television that President Obama was not in the Situation Room at the White House during the Benghazi attack. The reason Vietor said he knew Obama wasn’t in the situation room was that he himself was there.

The three foreign policy hawks’ letter comes as new emails surfaced this week via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from conservative group Judicial Watch which sparked a whole new wave of momentum on the Benghazi scandal and the creation of a select committee by the House of Representatives to investigate it.
