... A senior White House official, speaking anonymously, told CNN they recognize the president is responsible for the security of all U.S. personnel around the world. But their intent here is to make clear that the vice president was not misspeaking when he said that he and the president were not personally briefed on the security requests.

The senior White House official also argued that while there were specific requests for additional security in Tripoli, there were none in Benghazi.
