Benghazi whistleblower Greg Hicks, former deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Libya, testified on Wednesday that he was told not to talk to Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) alone about the Benghazi attack, according to multiple reports.
Hicks also said calls received from top Hillary Clinton advisor Cheryl Mills were intimidating in nature.
Speaking to Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) later in the hearing, Hicks again reiterated that he was told directly not to be isolated with Chaffetz, who traveled to Libya to investigate the terrorist attack.
A State Department lawyer accompanied the delegation and tried to be in every single meeting he was involved in, Hicks revealed.
Chaffetz made similar allegations back in October. As previously reported by TheBlaze, the congressman said the Obama administration sent an attorney to “follow me in my every footstep” while he was investigating in Libya.Probably the most infamous question that arose in the Congressional hearings was a question from former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Clinton bluntly asked “What difference, at this point, does it make?” in that she thinks the investigation for the most part is complete.
"The fact remain that we are almost 8 months since the attack and yet we still do not have a clear explanation of what happened that night. The new details that have emerged certainly raise the question if there is more that we, the American public, have not been privy to. I, like many other Americans, would like a definitive timeline of events.
I think it is also important that we don’t forget the four Americans that perished that day. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods died that day. Please don’t forget them. We often forget the victims of these tragedies. Oftentimes the controversy overshadows the tragedy. I hope for the sake of their families they get the information they have been seeking. Until then, the families and many American citizens will not be able to move on. The lack of adequate information is only stunting the grieving process."
