During an interview with 'Fox News Sunday' House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers says an article in The New York Times on Benghazi doesn't square with intelligence assessments about last year's attacks on the U.S. consulate. Mike Rogers knocks NYT over Benghazi report

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers says an article in The New York Times on Benghazi doesn’t square with intelligence assessments about last year’s attacks on the U.S. consulate in the Libyan city.

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” the Michigan Republican declined to answer when asked by host Chris Wallace whether The Times story was designed to exonerate Hillary Clinton, who was the secretary of state at the time of the attacks.

“I find the timing odd,” Rogers said. “I don’t want to speculate on why they might do it.”

In a story published online Saturday, The Times said it had “turned up no evidence that Al Qaeda or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault” and that the attacks were, in fact, “fueled in large part by anger at an American-made video denigrating Islam.”

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a senior member of the House Intelligence Committee, said intelligence assessments indicate that Al Qaeda was involved in the attacks. But, he said, The Times story “adds some valuable insights.”

“It is a complex picture,” he said.
