Text of the Graham-Ayotte-McCain letter is below: Dear Mr. President: Last night, the former Communications Director for the National Security Council, Tommy Vietor, stated that on the afternoon and night of September 11, 2012 -- while the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya was under attack -- that you never visited the White House Situation Room to monitor events. Over a year and a half has passed since the terrorist attacks, and the American people still do not have an accounting of your activities during the attack. Mr. President, can you now confirm that Mr. Vietor's account of your absence in the White House Situation Room is accurate? Thank you again for your attention to this matter. ##### May 2014 Press Releases Browse by: Current record 05/02/14 Graham, Ayotte, McCain on Select Committee to Investigate Benghazi 05/05/14 Graham Statement on Selection of Gowdy as Head of Benghazi Select Committee 05/05/14 On the Passing of Butler Derrick 05/06/14 Graham, Ayotte, McCain, Chambliss Statement on A-10 05/06/14 Graham, Leahy Introduce Bill To Launch Commission To Evaluate Army Budget Changes Proposed by the Administration You will need to have Real One Player installed on your computer to be able to listen or watch the clips above.
