White House Press Secretary Jay Carney denounced the House report on the Benghazi terrorist attack as a a partisan Republican staff report,” adding that it falsely suggested then-Secretary Hillary Clinton gave false testimony to Congress earlier this year.

“The signature thing is a perfect example of an attempt to politicize something,” Carney told reporters when asked about the report, which noted that Clinton’s signature appeared on an April 2012 diplomatic cable denying a request for additional security at the U.S. mission in Benghazi. The House report said that the existence of the cable “contradicts” Clinton’s congressional testimony.
