Hillary Clinton deflects harsh Benghazi criticism
At a sometimes heated hearing, Republicans accused the front-runner in the 2016 Democratic presidential race of misinforming the public about the cause of the attack by suspected Islamic militants that killed the US ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi.
Republican representative Jim Jordan said Clinton had misleadingly implied the attack was a reaction to an anti-Muslim video. Clinton, who denies suggesting the video was the cause, yesterday called Jordan’s accusation “personally painful”.
