Johnson Discusses Libya Attack on CNBC

Published | Video Starts at 03:50

I was the last one asking questions and they cut off the questioning. I was not at all satisfied with that briefing because We woke up the following morning, Larry, we found out far more in a New York Times article, in a Wall Street Journal article than we were ever briefed during that supposedly secure briefing. Right. All right, going to leave it there. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, thank you, sir. We appreciate it very much. Have a good night. (03:50–04:00)
