FILE - In this April 1, 2014, file photo, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington. President Barack Obama scored a rare win in his 5-year-old campaign to close the federal prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as a Senate panel approved giving him the authority to transfer terror suspects to the United States if Congress signs off on a comprehensive plan to shutter the facility. Levin hailed the defense bill provision as a significant change in the long standoff between the Obama administration and bipartisan congressional opponents over the post-Sept. 11 prison for terror suspects.

FILE - This May 9, 2014 file photo shows House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., speaking on Capitol Hill in Washington. House Democrats will participate in the special, Republican-led select committee investigating the deadly 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, despite serious concerns within the party that the inquiry is an election-year ploy to energize core GOP voters. In a brief statement, Pelosi said she will appoint the full complement of five Democrats on the 12-member panel, tapping lawmakers who have been deeply involved in previous congressional investigations of the Sept. 11, 2012 assault on the U.S. diplomatic outpost.

House Dems to participate in Benghazi probe

FILE - This Oct. 21, 2013 file photo shows White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough listening to President Barack Obama speak in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. The White House is escalating an election-year dispute with Congress over military spending as lawmakers bucked the Pentagon and spared favorite ships and aircraft despite diminishing budgets. One day after a veto threat, McDonough met privately with House Democrats on Tuesday and criticized the $601 billion defense authorization bill for parochial changes as the Defense Department deals with smaller budgets. Projected defense spending has been reduced after a decade of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and amid congressional deficit hawks demand for less federal dollars. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)
