WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is telling a House committee there were “no delays in decision-making” immediately after the deadly 2012 attacks on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya.
Clinton is the star witness in the GOP-led investigation.
She’s also says that in the U.S. response, there were “no denials of support from Washington” or from the U.S. military.
She’s calling for transparency in the investigation — which critics say is focused on hampering Clinton’s run for the White House in 2016. She’s the Democratic front-runner.
The committee chairman — GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina — accuses Clinton and the Obama administration of withholding information, including Clinton’s emails, about what happened in Washington following the attacks.
In his opening statement, Gowdy told Clinton that the investigation is not about her, it’s about the four Americans who died, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, who died in the attacks.
