What we found

Supports. The House Intelligence Committee's own fact sheet, dated December 4, 2014, discusses and stands by its final Benghazi report, which was formally adopted by committee vote.[3]

Supports. PolitiFact reports that the House Intelligence Committee concluded its two-year Benghazi investigation in November 2014 when it released a report exonerating the Obama administration of wrongdoing.[1]

Supports. NBC, PBS and CNN all report that the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee released its Benghazi report in November 2014, finding that the CIA and military responded appropriately and that there was no intelligence failure.[4][5][6]

Context. The AP and NPR also report the committee's November 2014 findings, and the post itself refers to the 'Republican led report' by the committee, so the claim is faithful to the passage.[2][7]
