As House Intelligence Committee chairman , Nunes oversaw the Republican-controlled committee 's two-year-long investigation into the U.S. response to the 2012 Benghazi attack . The committee 's final report found no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or any other Obama administration officials , and concluded that the response of CIA and U.S. military to the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound was correct . The committee 's report debunked " a series of persistent allegations hinting at dark conspiracies " about the attack , determining that " there was no intelligence failure , no delay in sending a CIA rescue team , no missed opportunity for a military rescue , and no evidence the CIA was covertly shipping arms from Libya to Syria " , but found " that the State Department facility where Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith were killed was not well-protected , and that State Department security agents knew they could not defend it from a well-armed attack "
