The report took more than two years to investigate, and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Mike Rogers, R-Mich., and Ranking Member Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., determined that while there was no intelligence failure, “the early intelligence assessments and the Administrations’ public narrative on the causes and motivations for the attack were not fully accurate.” The committee also determined that the CIA didn’t conduct any “unauthorized activities in Benghazi, and “did not intimidate any officer or otherwise dissuade them from telling their stories to Congress.”

The report is at least the seventh Congressional report on the Benghazi attacks, though the most notable one, by a special House select committee remains ongoing.
