us about the context of what was going on in libya in 2012 when moammar ghadafi was ousted and later killed that led to the area being one of contention in 2012. chris stevens died along with three other americans in that fight on the embassy in september 11 of 2012. again, the question, is this more of a big moment for political theater or is there a smoking gun that comes from this full 800-page release of the benghazi report? so let's find luke russert. we're looking at where trey gowdy and other members of the committee will speak in a moment. luke, what does the report reveal new, if anything, that didn't come out during testimony? >> we're here at the press conference. it's about to start momentarily where republican members of the benghazi committee will put forward their findings for public view. they've already made rounds in the morning shows. in terms of going through this report i think the most damaging detail to the white house is this idea that the military, despite orders from secretary panetta and president obama never deployed, never was wheels up on the way to liby

u.s. military africa command they discuss libya's civil war and u.s. strategy in the region. committee members also question the national guard bureau chief nominee, senator john mccain chairs the armed service committee, this is one hour, 15 minutes. >> good morning senate the armed service committee meets this money to consider the nominations of lieutenant general waldhauser to be commander of u.s. africa command and lieutenant general joseph ling gal to be chief of the national guard bureau. i welcome both of our nominees and thank them for their continued willingness to serve our nation. general waldhauser, africa has reemerged as an active front in the global war on terror with isil, al qaeda, boko haram, and al shabab. to commanding territory and launching successful attacks are at the and threatening her interest in those of our allies. particularly concern is the rise of iceland libya where the terrorist group commands an army of over 5000 fighters. the recent advances by militia forces against isil stronghold in certain are encouraging, the country remains mirrored

exercise control outside of libya and will support it will pour in blocks of population with the international community to put forth a strategy for libya in 2011 in this contributed directly to the current crisis and the ability to strategically expanded libya warning aboutallh out and the price of that approach to fighting this enemy. and will continue to deteriorate. and so instability. . .ur nation. in addition to ensuring that are national guardsmen are able and ready to do their job, the chief of the national guard bureau must be able to provide states military advice to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the secretary of defense, the president of the united states. general lange gal was the right man to this critical position. the depth and breath of his experience make him exceptionally well-qualified. after graduate from the university of north texas he completed his undergraduate pilot training at the air force base, he cut his teeth in the cockpit of an f-16. his 34 years of distance military service include an array of operational, staff, and command assignmen

to lead the africa command. he is not aware of an overall grand strategy in libya. additional ground troops are not needed at the moment. this is about an hour and 45 and its. >> good morning. we are considering the .omination i welcome both of our nominees and think them for their willingness to serve our nation. reemerged as an active front in the global war on terror. of concern is the rise of isil in libya. militia forces are encouraging. is mired by internal divisions. its government is unable to exercise control outside of libya. today, it has failed to secure the support of important box within the population. the failure of the united states and the international community to fourth a strategy for libya following the fall of qaddafi's 2011 contributed directly to the current qaddafi isil's ability to lash out and expand in libya is a troubling warning about the ice of the reactive up to fighting this enemy. i fear living will continue to deteriorate compounding the riser -- rising terror threat. there are large displacements of you while the threat in africa continues

flying the black flag of isil. like libya where we see isil sending some of its libya to set up an affiliate, we do get concerned and focus on it. leaders quite effectively with precision which we've done and work with the backnment to begin to take the territory isil holds, and that is very much under way. let me go through very briefly look f the indicators we at in terms of how we're doing against isil, and i'll just kind eighti'll allude to about of them, because it shows where we are and where we've been. morale , we look at the of the overall fighters and the overall force, and the morale it was pared to where even four or five months ago is plummeting. we're seeing them execute their fighters on the battlefield. we're seeing them unable to move fighters around the battlefield seeing recruits fall off precipitously. don't take it from me. and at their own statements what they say to their own potential recruits. terrorist sman is a named mohammed adnani. e has talked for years about this movement as a global historic expanding movement. say in their y propaganda is that we ar

, i believe, the situation in libya, in syria and when it came specifically to the situation libya the question was asked how do you think it compares to syria and i believe syria will be a piece of cake compared to libya should this collapse occur. perhaps you already mentioned that and i don't want to mischaracterize the statement. could you explain how that could be the case and whether or not you agree with comments that such comments like you look at the crown prince's remarks that libya -- syria is a piece of cake compared to libya, and could you compare that to comments made yesterday by the president saying that isis ranks are shrinking and morale is sinking. could that be consistent with what you're seeing on the ground in libya? >> i guess you were there ten weeks ago roughly? the government of national accord has been in place that amount of time in tripoli. they have increased support domestically. i would note it has been ready to support the cabinet. they had not been permitted to vote by a minority. you have seen support for the government grow. the libyan people exp

grave danger the americans faced in libya. we're covering all of the angles with dana bash, barbara starr and then we're going to interview a republican congressman. dana, i do want to start with you. as i said, there's no smoking gun in this report. but it's still damning? >> reporter: absolutely. the fact of the matter is four americans including the u.s. ambassador at the time to libya were killed. and there were lots of reasons for that laid out in this report. starting with the obvious, which is they diplomdn't have the pro security. one of the questions that has been posed for several years now is, why was chris stevens, the ambassador, even in benghazi that was kind of an out post still and didn't have proper security. one of the things that's come to light in this report are some of the potential reasons he went. first and foremost, he was very committed to benghazi and making a u.s. consulate permanent there. and he found out there was a pot of money that could be available to make that happen, money as you learn reading this was very hard to come by for them in creating th

sent to libya should wear uniforms. according to commanders his team changed in and out of uniforms three times that night. there was no decisive leadership that night, republicans said or muscular military response. >> you will see the details in the the report. it's a tale of the absence of vigor and energy where if it was my son, your husband or your child you would say that's a lack of response from the united states government. reporter: unlike the raid that kid usama bin laden. there was no such gathering of the main players, even though they were available and in washington, d.c. secretary of defense leon panetta ordered assets to libya. conflicting orders from state department and pentagon officials derailed the military response and panetta's order was not carried out. eric: the democratic report says security was woefully inadequate and no one intentionally misled the nation willfully. martha: what did the then secretary of state hillary clinton have to say shortly after the attack. these are her comments september 12 the day after benghazi where she referenced a video as

important. we all know what libya looks like at that time post-civil war, post-conflict. benghazi was an important outpost. nobody knew that more than chris stevens. nobody believed in the importance of benghazi more than chris stevens did, but his was not the only assessment that benghazi was important. it was important that we had representation there, and that is why we were there. you know, it speaks, to be frank here, it speaks to the risk -taking that our diplomats do every day because we need representation in any given place, and we need our diplomats to go there and to be forward .leaning, if you will we do our best to protect them. we are trying to do a better job at protecting those individuals, but we stand by the fact that we needed our people to be in benghazi. support the presence -- you would accept more responsibility on the bureaucratic decision-making and security posture elements? mr. toner: i think we have a knowledge that in the past, brad. couple of things there, one is we have a knowledge and took seriously the request for security the embassy made and try to prov

military force moammar gadhafi in libya. despite his claims now that he's been against that. here's a sense over the years of what trump said about this topic. >> he said i was in favor of libya. i never discussed that sum. >> gadhafi in libya is killing thousands of people. >> i supported libya? >> yes, you supported intervention in libya. >> where did you see that? >> we should stop this. which would be very easy and very quick. we can do it surgically. >> i wasn't for what you have now. >> we would have been better off if the politicians took a day off. instead of going to war. >> we should do humanitarian basis immediately go into libya knock this guy out very quickly. >> you said you weren't for intervention. you were for intervention. >> i didn't mind surgical. do you a surgical shot and you take him out. i wasn't for what happened. i could have seen surgical where you take out gadhafi and his group. >> i was in favor of libya. we would be so much better off if gadhafi were in charge now. mark: that 2011 footage of trump supporting intervention in libya was reported back in fe

reason obama is not doing that. >> dickerson: let me ask you about libya you've been highly critical of libya. you were also for military action to oust gadhafi and take action in libya, you supported this. >> you say supportive, i supported libya? >> you supported -- did i? where do you see that. >> dickerson: in video blog from 2011 you said -- >> we should go in, we stop this guy which would be very easy and very quick, we could do it surgically. stop him from doing it and save these lives. >> big difference from what we're talking about. i'm only one, i made lot of money with gadhafi. he came to the country and he had to make a deal with me because he needed a place to stay, they paid me a fortune, never got to stay there it became a big joke. but the fact is, that libya was a disaster from the standpoint of way it was handled. >> dickerson: for intervention? just to clear that up? >> for something, but for what you have right now. right now isis has their oil, john. ice is selling -- among finest oil in the world. isis has taken over the libyan oil and we don't do blockades or anyt

americans were killed, not a single wheel of a single u.s. military asset had even turned toward libya. our report starts with the attack and there is a section on the post-attack communication between the government and the american citizenry and there is a section on pre-attack decisions made and not made which led to the environment which made our facility vulnerable. it is always better to be the first committee to investigate. it is always better to investigate as contemporaneously to an event as can be done. our committee did not have the luxury of either one of those. we began a year and a half after the incident. but collectively and individually, all seven of us believe there are more questions asked, there are more answers to acquire, more witnesses to acquire, more documents to access, and this report validates that belief. there is new information on what happened in benghazi ended that information should fundamentally change the way you view what happened in benghazi and there are recommendations made to make sure it does not happen again. in conclusion, with respect to my

enough for libya to evolve to its next phase, supported by the considerable natural wealth that could continue to generate from oil at 1.5 million barrels a day as current capacity which could go up to two i am told by oil experts. .. >> i understand now and maybe you can respond to this that the administration has expressed a willingness to consider loosening the embargo to arm the gna in its fight against the islamic state. how can the administration insure that its allies are abiding by international law and not undermining the unity government, and how can the united states insure that the government of national accord is strong enough to control any arms that are supplied? >> lots of questions embedded in that question, sir. let's start with the arms embargo. we've made no findings about violations. the u.n. panel of experts in march, i believe, march or april issued a report which described the issues that you've raised without making any final findings. we talked to, i've talked to all the countries you've mentioned about the need not to support competing forces, but to support

policy? >> libya and benghazi would be at the top of the list. sure. >> but she didn't talk about it. did that trouble you, colonel? >> yeah. considering the shows we've done on it, shows. it's a major disaster that's not been settled. >> i was looking at trump's foreign policy speech. and you know, he talked about iraq, egypt, libya. he talked about rebuilding countries while we weaken our own. i thought what was interesting was that he said allies are not paying their fair share. only 4 of the 28 member countries in nato spending the minimum required. i went through his speech. there was everything about what's going on in the world. it was foreign policy. she didn't say much about foreign policy. >> no. it was an attack on the guy that's going to be running against her. there's no question. the problem you have with what trump is saying is you don't get a lot of meat on what he's talking about. >> oh, my god. i have his speech. >> he has great subjects. i'm talking about some depth. that's for me the issue. yes, he's covering the map. but what does he mean? >> okay. what he means

members of congress, and all i can say is benghazi was important, we know what libya looked like, and during the civil war, no one knew that more than chris stevens, the importance of benghazi more than chris stevens did. not the only new assessment that benghazi was important, that we had representation there. it speaks to the risk, what diplomats do every day, representation in any given place and diplomats go there and be forward leaning. we do our best to protect them, do a better job at protecting individuals, we stand by the fact that we needed our people to be in benghazi. >> you support -- you would accept more responsibility on the bureaucratic decisionmaking and security posture elements? >> we have acknowledged that in the past, a couple points, one is we did have and took seriously the request for security that the embassy made and tried to provide and respond as quickly as we could requests for increased security on the ground. with a few exceptions, that have to do -- deal with the profile, and the security concerns. and the qualifier there, they found and others have sp

. ambassador stevens and his staff in libya made hundreds and hundreds of requests for security. they were desperate. they needed help. hillary clinton's state department refused them all. she started the war that put them in libya, denied him the security he asked for, then left him there to die. to cover her tracks, hillary lied about the video being the cause of death, the famous video, all a lie, another hillary lie. here's what one of the victims' mother had to say -- i want the whole world to know it. she lied to my face, and you know, this person cannot be president. she cannot be president. in 20209 before hillary clinton was sworn in, it was a different world. libya was cooperating, iraq was seeing a reduction in violence, believe it or not. syria was under control. iran was being choked by sanctions. egypt was governed by a friendly regime that honors its peace treaty with israel, something very nice, because, by the way, israel has been totally mistreated by the united states. isis wasn't even on the map. fast forward to 2013. in just four years secretary clinton managed to almo

our interest and those of our allies. libya, they command an army of over 5,000 fighters. while recent is encouraging, the country -- unity government is unable to exercise control outside of libya. outside of tripoli and to date has failed to secure the support of important blocks within the population. the failure of the united states and the international community to put forth a comprehensive strategy for libya following the fall of gaddafi in 2011 has contributed to the current crisis and isis's ability to expand in libya is a troubling warning about the price of the administrations reactive, indirect approach to fighting this enemy. until this changes, i fear libya will continue to deteriorate. compounding the rising terror threat across the continent africa remains plagued by long standing conflict and weak governance that divide large displacement of people into stability. while the threat in africa continues to metastasize, our military commanders are being forced to do more with less and stafford for resources and denied timely and flexible authorities to take advantag

and libya. we analyze it in three directions. the self acclaimed phony caliphate. the common denominator when i ask leaders in various capitals and what is driving people in the movement, it is the notion of a historic caliphate. we have to shrink the core in doing that. there is the core and then there is the global networks, the foreign fighter networks that feed the core. the financial networks and the propaganda networks. we are constantly through a global coalition every single day squeezing and constricting those networks. i just came from the state department where i addressed 66 ambassadors and representatives that talk about how we are doing in the global network piece. we have self acclaimed affiliates across the world. many of them are pre-existing terrorist groups that we are much focused online boko haram in nigeria. we are focused on them even after flying the black baflag of isil. when we see them sending some of the best leaders to set up, we do get concerned. we focus on it. we focused the leaders quite effectively. we also work with the new government to tak

fundamentally hillary clinton has made a huge strategic blunder, kind of like her libya invasion, in trying to turn this race into a referendum on foreign policy -- >> it was not a libya invasion, steven. >> well, i don't know what you'd call it, then. >> it was military action in libya that she as a diplomat also helped to agree with, but there was not an invasion. >> robert gates and others were skeptical of the invasion and hillary clinton pushed for it. >> it was not an invasion. let's be honest about that. >> it was a military invasion. >> it was a military action, not invasion. >> when you use nato power to overthrow a regime, that's an invasion. but the point is, her foreign policy decisions are now at the center of this race. whether it's her decisions in syria and sporting regime change that created the refugee crisis, whether it's her decisions in libya that give isis control over the country, whether it's her decisions in iraq and the precipitous withdrawal after her support of the invasion that led to isis taking control of iraq, whether it's her support for the iranian d

report on the 2012 attack in libya that killed four americans including the ambassador. during hillary clinton's time as secretary of state. cnn given exclusive advance access to part of the report. chief political correspondent dana bash has gone over that section. she has it in her hands. she joins us now. dana, the house created this select committee more than two years ago. finally this morning, this morning this report is coming out, you have seen some 200 pages of this document. what can you tell us about what is in there? >> we were given advanced exclusive access to a little more than 200 pages and we're told the full report is 802 pages. so the section we have seen describes the events leading up to the deadly attack on benghazi and the compound there. and the committee uses what they say are 75,000 new documents, 81 witnesses never questioned before congress. with the report we have seen paints a narrative of the benghazi outpost as a bureaucratic and diplomatic no-man's-land, which made it unnecessarily hard to get funding and security, even especially as things became so da

libya. we need help. we are undermanned. there were folks who talked about it being a suicide mission. >> and the red cross left? >> that's right. multiple terror attacks. some of them at our own facility. yet insufficient security was provided. >> during the attack, we had people ready to go help, and they changed clothes four times because they didn't know if they wanted them to actually go in in uniform. and we were asking permission of libya to save americans while they were under fire. >> one of the things that our report shows very clearly is secretary clinton put politics and her political legacy way ahead of the people on the ground. they were dithering for two hours in a telephone conference call while mortars are falling in libya, and they're talking about things not related to -- >> do we have video of this going on? >> there was. for much of the evening in benghazi, we had real-time video that was being fed back. >> so she had to know that the fight was ongoing, and they're sitting there talking about a video? >> oh, it was well known that the fight was going on in

for voting in favor of intervening in libya, the invasion in iraq and use of a private e-mail server when she was secretary of state. clinton calls her vote over iraq and the use of the e-mail server mistakes. we'll get to all of that. but right now, there is breaking news out of los angeles. stand by. >> there this morning just after midnight, lapd had called the brooklyn park police department requesting assistance on a welfare check. they indicated that this was related to the recent ucla shooting. and they also indicated that the female that lived at this address in brooklyn park was on a hit list that they believe was created by the shooter in the ucla incident. brooklyn park officers responded to the 2400 block of pearson parkway at a residence and made a welfare check where they did locate an adult female found deceased from an apparent gunshot wound. subsequently homicide investigation is being conducted with the assistance of the county share rev's office and medical examiner's office. there is again very limited informationrev's office and medical examiner's office.

firing back before secretary clinton even spoke. >> the libya invasion was disgusting. i mean you know who has the oil? isis has the oil from libya. we went in, we knocked the hell out of libya, we did all of the things with gadhafi and all, we did great things. she ends up with benghazi. >> we all know the tools that donald trump brings to the table -- bragging, mocking, composing nasty tweets. i'm willing to bet he's writing a few right now. >> in fact, she was right. trump tweeted quote, crooked hillary no longer has credibility. too much failure in office, people will not allow another four years of incompetence. clinton chose san diego as a backdrop to her speech, given its large military community. it's home to the navy s.e.a.l.s, which she wants to remind people she agreed to send into pakistan to kill osama bin laden. >> now imagine donald trump sitting in the situation room making life-or-death decisions on behalf of the united states. do we want his finger anywhere near the button? >> no! >> making donald trump our commander-in-chief would an historic mistake. >> aides t

cultivating the global network into a more interconnected global organization. the branch in libya is probably the most developed and most dangerous. we assess that it is trying to increase its influence in after fre ka and plot attacks in the region and in europe. meanwhile, isil's branch is established the self as the most active and capable terrorist group in all of egypt. the branch focuses its attacks on egyptian military and government targets but has also targeted foreigners and tourists as we saw with the downing of passenger jet last october. other branches worldwide, while also a concern have struggled to gain traction. the branch for instance, has been with and afghanistan pakistan branch has struggled to maintain its cohesion in part because of competition. finally, on the propaganda front, the coalition is working to counter isil's expansive propaganda machine. isil paints a crafted image to the outside world the own military efforts, portraying its so-called as a thriving state and alleging that the group is expanding globally even as it faces setbacks locally. isil rele

. the nation, donald trump was presented with statements made five years ago about libya. trump frequently claims now that he has always been against the intervention. here is what has been said. trump: libya, i never discussed that. thousands.killing i supported libya? we should go in and stop this guy, very easy and quick. john dickerson: you were for intervention. donald trump: i was for something. ifwould have been better off the politicians had taken a day off, instead of going to war. and knock this guy out, surgically and effectively. john dickerson: you were for intervention. donald trump: i said, "surgical." i was in favor of libya. we would be better off if qaddafi was in charge right now. this wass was -- mark: reported back in february and nobody asked him about it, until now. this is currently getting stuff.dowed by the judge this gurney level has gone up in a way that most politicians, even if they think they have had a lot of scrutiny, it goes up. people have looked back on the nomination fight and concluded that they did not quite exactly get it right. they have

wanted to go into iraq or not on libya, he criticized her on libya right now. right before the intervention in 2011. we should go in, doesn't she have a point incon coherent on this. >> not at all. the thing she's talking about is not when privied to information. and i'll say we have several months to distinguish the differences between a trump and a clinton administration with regards to foreign policy and mr. trump is right. this was a political speech. this was just her opportunity to get out there and criticize mr. trump, but more importantly, i think this was more more for the state of california. she's in a very close race with bernie sanders, this was her opportunity to sort of push above him. >> how should he be judged? it's an interesting situation here, he's not, he's a public public figure who was not in public office. he was not on the record about libya in 2011 with, that said, he's making this a campaign issue right now. he's saying look, she made the wrong call on libya and he's out there saying he deserves credit in his words for being against the iraq war even
