State official: Reassignments equal punishment for Benghazi

A senior State Department manager Wednesday dismissed complaints that no one was held accountable for lax security in Benghazi after four Americans were killed there in a terrorist attack.
The testimony of Patrick Kennedy, the State Department undersecretary for management, came as Republicans claimed the Obama administration is muzzling witnesses who were in Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed a U.S. ambassador and three others.
"That's something the White House is refusing us," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Republican member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which will hear more Benghazi testimony Thursday.
He said about 30 witnesses who were in Benghazi have yet to be interviewed by congressional investigators.
