House Benghazi probe likely to be narrowed
AP foreign, Wednesday December 10 2014
By MATTHEW DALY
Associated Press= WASHINGTON (AP) — A special House committee investigating the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans will seek to avoid fights over issues that have already been decided as it reconvenes in the new year, lawmakers said Wednesday.
Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the senior Democrat on the panel, said committee Chairman Trey Gowdy has agreed to narrow the scope of the panel's investigation and set up rules governing its operation.
The 12-member committee expires with the end of this congressional term and must be reauthorized in the new Congress that begins next month. House Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders have said they intend to keep the committee intact.
Gowdy, R-S.C., said he and Cummings have not decided how to narrow the Benghazi inquiry — which follows at least a half-dozen congressional and internal reviews — but said there was no reason to investigate facts that are not in dispute.
