Fox News' Gregg Jarrett repeatedly pressed Rep. Patrick Meehan (R-PA) to declare that the Obama administration has been engaged in a “cover up” of the September 2012 attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya.  

On the September 21 edition of America's News Headquarters, co-host Jarrett demanded to know why a reluctant Meehan would not describe the administration's response to Benghazi as a “cover up,” asking the congressman several times why he wouldn't use the phrase. Watch: 

JARRETT: Is this a cover up, and is it blatant?

MEEHAN: Well, it is certainly not a thorough investigation in the way that it was advertised. And that's the key. They've been relying on this as if it was a dispassionate--  

JARRETT: You don't want to call it a cover up.

MEEHAN: -- and thorough investigation, and it's not.

JARRETT: How come you don't want to call it a cover up?

MEEHAN: Well, you know, you can call it a cover up. I think they asked the right questions --

JARRETT: No, why don't you call it a cover up? That's what I'm asking.

MEEHAN: Because I think -- I want to see accountability. I think that they're asking questions, but they're failing to ask the right people the questions, all the way to the top.

JARRETT: Well and it's been a year, which is ridiculous. 

During his interview of Meehan, Jarrett continued his trend of pushing a number of debunked falsehoods about Benghazi, including falsely claiming that President Obama was sleeping the night of the attacks and that no rescue effort was sent to Benghazi. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has stated that Obama was “well-informed” during the attack, and a photo of Obama meeting in the Oval Office with his National Security advisors the night of the attacks has been available on the White House Flickr page since October 2012. Furthermore, as experts have repeatedly made clear, help was sent to Benghazi, and former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has called out those who claimed more could have been done to rescue those in Benghazi for having a “cartoonish impression of the military.”

Jarrett's desperate attempt to get Rep. Meehan to use the label is not the first time Fox News has suggested there is a Benghazi “cover up,” and continues the network's repeated creation and promotion of lies, smears, and conspiracies related to the attacks.
