CBS News will conduct a review of its controversial “60 Minutes” report on the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, according to a McCaltchy correspondent Nancy Youssef.

“60 Minutes” correspondent Lara Logan last week retracted and apologized for the Oct. 27 report after questions were raised about the account a British contractor gave to CBS. The executive producer of “60 Minutes” also apologized last week for the story.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in October referred to the report as proof that the State Department was not fully cooperating with Congress in offering witnesses. Graham on Sunday defended his use of the report after it was discredited, and said he will still hold up nominations to try to get more information on the Benghazi attack.
