Hillary Clinton endured hours of sharp questioning by House lawmakers leading a select House committee investigating the Benghazi attacks in 2012 that led to the deaths of American ambassador Christopher Stevens and three fellow Americans.
Just days after House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy inadvertently admitted that Republicans created the Select Committee on Benghazi in order to undermine Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, a former investigator on the committee released a statement also accusing the Republican-led panel of unfairly targeting the Democratic candidate.
House Democrats on Wednesday failed to pass a bill that would have shut down the Select Committee on Benghazi in wake of House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy's inadvertent admission that the panel was formed by Republicans in order to detract from Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
House Republicans have come down on Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., for comments he made on Tuesday to Fox News host Sean Hannity, in which he suggested that the Benghazi oversight committee had succeeded in hurting Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The captured suspect believed to be the mastermind behind the 2012 Benghazi attack, which killed a U.S. ambassador and three diplomats in Libya, is reportedly talking to U.S. officials, though he has not been given his Miranda rights.
U.S. Special Operations forces alongside the FBI apprehended one of the alleged suspects of the 2012 terrorists attacks in Benghazi, U.S. officials said.
