Report: Benghazi Whistleblower to Allege Clinton Tried to Cut Out Anti-Terror Bureau in Wake of Attack
FILE - In this Friday, Sept. 14, 2012 file photo, Libyan military guards check one of the U.S. Consulate's burnt out buildings during a visit by Libyan President Mohammed el-Megarif, not shown, to the U.S. Consulate to express sympathy for the death of the American ambassador, Chris Stevens and his colleagues in the deadly attack on the Consulate last Tuesday, September 11, in Benghazi, Libya. Libya's upheaval the past two years helped lead to the ongoing conflict in Mali, and now Mali's war threatens to wash back and further hike Libya's instability. There is a growing fear that post-Moammar Gadhafi Libya is becoming an incubator of turmoil, with an overflow of weapons and Islamic jihadi militants operating freely, ready for battlefields at home or abroad.

Report: Benghazi Whistleblower to Allege Clinton Tried to Cut Out Anti-Terror Bureau in Wake of Attack

With the Benghazi, Libya, terror attack finding its way back into the headlines, some startling new allegations are coming to light. On Sunday, Fox News revealed that one of the whistleblowers with knowledge of the deadly assault will purportedly share a shocking claim about former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and her handling of the affair.

Daily Mail has more about the potential testimony -- one that is sure to start a firestorm of controversy and debate:

One of the Benghazi 'whistle-blowers' will claim that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to chop the State Department's own counterterrorism bureau out of the chain of reporting and decision-making in the aftermath of the attacks, it was revealed on Sunday.

On Wednesday, the three State Department officials will appear on Capitol Hill before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to talk about the September 11, 2012, assault on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

Fox News reported on Sunday that witness Mark I. Thompson, who was once a marine, will make the allegations against Clinton and Under Secretary for Management Patrick Kennedy.

The central allegation is that Clinton and Kennedy attempted to cut out the counterterrorism bureau as the government examined the events that unfolded in Benghazi. Thus far, representatives for the State Department and Clinton have flatly denied the allegations.

As previously reported Thompson will be joined by Gregory N. Hicks, deputy chief of mission at the U.S. embassy in Libya at the time of the attack and Eric Nordstrom, a diplomatic security officer, in speaking on Wednesday about the attacks.
