>> reporter: david petraeus no longer heads the cia, but he's volunteered to testify this week to congressional benghazi hearings as new details emerge about the e-mails that helped end petraeus' career.

>> he's provided this country an extraordinary service.

>> reporter: speaking for the first time about the scandal wednesday, president obama praised petraeus for extraordinary service saying he's seen no signs of a national security breach over the course of the investigation.

>> i have no evidence at this point from what i've seen that classified information was disclosed that in any way would've had negative impact on our national security .

>> reporter: republican senators brushed off that scandal calling the attack on benghazi far more important.

>> there's the weird and the strange and the human failings in one camp. and there is a legitimate question about national security being breached in the other camp.

>> reporter: meanwhile, paula broadwell remained at her brother's home in washington on wednesday still not talking. but officials a i the investigation was triggered in may when general john allen received an e-mail from an account called kelley patrol. it warned the general to stay away from kelley . general allen forwarded it to her. on the account she shares with her husband scott thinking kelley had sent it as a joke. sources closest to kelley told the general she hadn't sent it but was concerned she was being stalked because the e-mail referred to a meeting that she and general allen scheduled in washington the next week. in june, people close to kelley say she and her husband received as many as four similar e-mails from different accounts telling jill she's up to no good and asking her husband, do you know what your wife is up to when she has dinner with general petraeus ? she turned all the e-mails including general allen 's over to a veteran fbi agent she knew. eventually investigators say all the anonymous e-mails were tracked back to paula broadwell . meanwhile, the people close to the kelleys say jill kelley never had an affair with general allen . but they say the e-mails had enough inappropriate language to warrant a defense department investigation.
