Three State Department officials appeared Wednesday before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in Washington. One of the officials, Eric Nordstrom, said the government’s probe into the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya, failed to adequately take senior leaders to task.
