First time from a Security Officer who witnessed the attack. On october 27th, it broadcast a report on benghazi, using a socalled eyewitness, suggesting the u. S. Government could have sent backup to the besieged u. S. Mission in benghazi, libya, during the attack that killed four Americans Last year. One guy saw me. He just shouted. I couldnt believe that he had seen me because it was so dark. He started walking towards me. And as he was coming closer . As i got closer, just hit him with the butt of the rifle in the face. And no one saw you do it . No. Or heard it . No, there was too much noise. But the security contractor who was the star eyewitness had already told the fbi he was not there on the night of the attack, and that differing account for 60 minutes to finally admit its error. Nobody likes to admit that they made a mistake, but if you do, you have to stand up and take responsibility and you have to say that you were wrong. Of course, we all remember the last time cbs news m
Almost a decade. Tonight, youll hear for the first time from a Security Officer who witnessed the attack. On october 27th, it broadcast a report on benghazi, using a socalled eyewitness, suggesting the u. S. Government could have sent backup to the besieged u. S. Mission in benghazi, libya, during the attack that killed four Americans Last year. One guy saw me. He just shouted. I couldnt believe that he had seen me because it was so dark.

Just talked to a reporter from the newspaper summed it up calling it a cluster blank. What does this all say about the ability of schools around the country to open at all . Much more on that ahead. But first, the Opening Night and what to expect tonight. Joining us now is cnns john harwood and the president has responded to Michelle Obama, which tells you it stung. The president responded. Why do you think it stung what she had to say, it is what it is . Well, she was so effective and personal in detailing the personal qualities that are absent in donald trump that have manifested themselves in the coronavirus crisis.

They descended on washington saturday for mostly peaceful protests, but after dark, things got violent. Officials say one man was stabbed and is in Critical Condition. The Mayors Office says two Police Officers have also been injured and at least 20 arrests made.
