Sen. Lindsey Graham is threatening "to block every appointment" the administration makes until the survivors of the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, are allowed to testify before Congress.
"I'm going to block every appointment in the United States Senate until the survivors are being made available to the Congress. We need to get to the bottom of this," the South Carolina Republican said Monday on "Fox & Friends."
"Fourteen months later, the survivors of Benghazi have not been made available to the U.S. Congress for oversight purposes," Graham said, referring to the attack that took place on Sept. 11, 2012, that took the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Graham also said he was demanding to know what role former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton played in making decisions about security around the Benghazi complex. According to numerous reports, concerns had been raised repeatedly about the lack of sufficient security, especially after other nations had closed their consulates and left Benghazi.
In addition, he said he was still concerned with the administration's portrayal of the attack as being spontaneously inspired by an anti-Islam YouTube video, which was the explanation given by former United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, now the White House national security adviser, on television a few days after the attack.
"Where was Hillary Clinton during all these multiple requests for security? You could see this attack a long time in the making, according to the people on the ground in Libya. Why couldn't you see it in Washington?" Graham asked on Fox & Friends.
"Who ... told Susan Rice this story about a protest gone bad? And who told the president there was no evidence of a preplanned terrorist attack, in light of all this information?" Graham continued.
