One week after former CIA Director David Petraeus stepped down because of an extramarital affair, he headed back to Capitol Hill for intelligence briefings. As CNN's Emily Schmidt reports, the House and Senate Intelligence Committees want to know what he knew about the Benghazi attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and 3 other Americans. David Petraeus ended a week in the spotlight behind closed Congressional doors. The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya has become a political issue over when the Obama Administration knew what prompted the attack: spontaneous reaction to an anti-Muslim video, or terrorists. Then-CIA Director Petraeus briefed lawmakers in September. Now, impressions of that meeting are mixed. Congressman King said Petraeus testified he had no direct involvement in developing the talking points used by Susan Rice. In early days after the attack, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN pointed to the film as a potential cause. Lawmakers say Petraeus was asked little about his admitted affair with Biographer Paula Broadwell. Petraeus reportedly was not under oath while testifying, a nod to the job he held, before it was lost in a scandal.
