The United States military has released a statement amid allegations two Delta Force operators lied about their roles in the Benghazi attack.
The September 11-12, 2012 attack in Libya resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
There has long been controversy around what happened in Benghazi, and it turned into a disaster for President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Now, it's back in the news after a very popular podcast - the "Antihero Podcast" - hinted on an episode that the two Delta Force operators on the ground might have a different version of events than what was depicted in the movie "13 Hours," which tells the story of the attack. Host Brent Tucker is a former member of The Unit.
The two operators were awarded the military's second-highest award, and neither has ever publicly spoken out about the attack. It's previously been reported that one operator may have been involved with going to the hospital where Stevens was believed to be being held, and both have been credited with saving many lives.
