Former CIA Director David Petraeus on Thursday said his resignation last week had nothing to do with the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and denied disclosing any classified information.
Petraeus spoke to CNN "Headline News" reporter Kyra Phillips, who said the nation's former top spy insisted he never provided any classified documents to his biographer, Paula Broadwell, with whom he had an extramarital affair.
Petraeus said he resigned from the CIA because of the affair and believed standing down from his post was the appropriate response, according to Phillips.
