-- does he -- still so many questions unanswered and tonight there is new information.
Under pressure from democratic and Republican senators the State Department is now allowing the senators to look at documents related to the -- -- -- But there is a catch and that kept his big.
The senators will only have access to documents today tomorrow when most senators are not even in Washington.
Also today's news that the house foreign affairs committee will hold an open hearing.
And the attack next Thursday and they have asked Secretary Clinton to testify and also next Thursday both the house and Senate Intelligence Committees will hold closed hearings.
Former -- city mayor Rudy Giuliani joins us good evening there.
Good evening Greta how are you.
Well I'm drew lots of this investigation certainly didn't mean this is a homicide investigation among other things have been September 11 and I don't think we're any farther ahead except the light a lot of -- -- -- -- trying to get information well it's already a very compromised homicide investigation right mean it didn't take place until.
23 weeks after the homicides took place.
A lot of the evidence was lost a lot of the evidence was discovered by either the press -- people from foreign affairs.
So I think that.
It's going to be really difficult.
They're trying to figure out exactly what happened and unfortunately the administration has done so much.
A -- -- about it.
It's really put itself in a very difficult position.
-- affected the State Department -- -- -- look at the documents today and tomorrow and they know the senators are in town that certainly is a strong indication.
I give -- some other examples is that -- Ed Henry's reporting tonight that the president will happen tomorrow.
We'll give a statement he -- at a press conference with the white house press corps -- we're dancing questions they simply gonna give a statement about the economy the fiscal clip.
Thereby avoiding any questions on -- we know that Fox News wasn't invited to that State Department conference call about a month ago.
When that when everybody in the media was given their time line and then when the CIA didn't about two weeks ago we were conveniently left off the list and we're asking questions and this is that the administration's giving that and now David Stone -- US set which.
Cool which is so interesting is at stake in the -- the Democrats are the one they run the committees they're asking for the documents indicate -- -- Well there's a very simple question has to be answered did the president know about the prior attacks.
If the president knew about the prior attacks why did he supply.
The the security that was necessary to protect the ambassador.
Mean I this -- 67 weeks I still don't know the answer to that this this console was attacked twice.
-- was attacked once -- blew a hole in the wall and we don't know whether the president knew about it.
If the president did know about it white -- -- supply more security and then when he found out about this third attack why did it why didn't he act.
In a more forceful manner.
To get the military -- to get reinforcements there the CIA got held up at the airport for three hours and these are incredible questions.
That the longer the administration -- The more they -- create a sense of real suspicion about this.
I don't let me when you get to start digging into stories right of the gates says I got suspicious when your two stories for the same event I get suspicious -- announcing that some reasonable and it continued to hold to it in the most we've heard from the president.
A November -- was asked by local TV about does senator McCain's comments that now eight weeks later look like a cover -- -- it can't get the information he referred to it as quote nonsense the allegation of cover -- but we still don't get any information.
And act by a separate so a significant that the democratic committee -- US senate Dianne Feinstein senator Feinstein.
Is now saying you know we need this information adds a minute they can't -- they can't call politics and the Democrats arrest report.
You can't possibly look at this and not wonder.
What what the heck were they doing.
Several different explanations.
Totally conflicting.
A totally strange.
Pattern of behavior in the four months leading up to this attack including not protecting the embassy.
An embassy this attacked.
You put extra security there.
Why was there no extra security at the consulate.
Why why did the president take as long as he did.
To react why weren't more forces put it why won't why do we have to conflicting explanations afterwards and why is evidence keep getting discovered.
By the press.
And by outside people not by by the FBI.
My administration officials.
And -- put out this information to the senate what are they put it out for two days when nobody is around and meet my goodness.
You have to be stupid not to that come to the conclusion that there's something very suspicious here.
-- -- -- went out to the fact that about a month ago I Tunisian man has picked up in Turkey he had been spotted by the CIA and the videotape is being at the consulate during the attack.
He got picked up in Turkey turned over to Tunisia Tunisia held -- And for a month that we were told that we couldn't get access to him to question an FBI and finally senator Lindsey Graham makes a phone call last week and settling the FBI get access to this -- -- in the present United States didn't do couldn't do wouldn't do and we have a step we have a senator from from South Carolina makes a simple phone -- And -- three weeks later we have access to them.
This is not gonna go away.
No matter how much the White House wants to wish it away -- the State Department it's not gonna go into these questions are answered the longer they take.
The more contrary information that's put out.
The more damaging that -- the this'll be this is not something you can spin your way out of the way they wasn't -- during the case.
They say and especially when they see you might be led -- throw though the media off they'll throw them off the trail somehow.
But they actually -- senator Feinstein a Democrat.
On the trail on this one.
And she's not the -- that just think is that she's a very serious US senator who's gonna -- get to the bottom of this of this may be their worst nightmares that one of their -- is now say what the world is going on.
Well -- four Americans get killed and we don't get good answers about it it gets any American Republican or Democrat a pretty -- angry.
I know I was angry I wanna I wanna know why these four men were killed could have been prevented.
And could we have reacted to -- faster.
And -- explained it plot more honestly and a lot more clearly in the first couple days after those are very very relevant non political questions.
They have to do a simple justice.
I would talk -- not political Senator John Kerry a Democrat.
Four and he's done the -- -- he said chairman of the foreign relations committee he has sent two letters to the State Department requesting congressional access to documents and information leading up to and during the attack so there's another democratic US -- -- says.
You know where is this information and he's trying to get it.
It's gonna keep expanding.
Until they hunt until they decide that they're gonna be transparent about this and I don't so the longer they wait the more you wonder why are they waiting.
What what are they what what's there where they worried about why don't they want to put all the facts out.
I had got there I read and I think congressman roofers Berger -- Democrat and AM House Intelligence Committee he likewise wants to know what's going on the read a quote from him so that he made the Democrats a -- and ask a lot of questions.
Well I mean.
We see this happen before I hate to mention Watergate but -- -- that we see has happened before.
Sometimes the cover up can be worse than the actual act although it's pretty hard to get worse than we lose four brave Americans.
And maybe there was something we could have done.
Leading up to that in which we do to prevent it gets pretty hard to get worse than that but.
Maybe that maybe is gonna get worse than that but.
By the first -- the present cities -- transparency in the second term is essentially started and tomorrow is not -- -- is not an answer questions from the white house press conference or press corps rather.
He's just gonna simply make a statement no question so they're not going to be happy but I did the last -- and that -- thank you sir.
Thank you --
