Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman
Gen. Martin Dempsey will testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee on
Thursday about last year’s attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) had announced
the hearing last week, and committee aides confirmed Panetta
would be testifying, but the hearing was not finalized by the committee
until Monday.
Thursday’s hearing also means that the committee vote on

week. Levin said last week that Hagel’s confirmation could happen after the Benghazi
hearing if everything lines up correctly.
