Hillary Clinton 'emboldened' by criticism towards presidential run

Former US secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton said she feels “emboldened” to run for the presidency because of Republican criticism of her handling of the deadly 2012 terrorist attacks in Libya.

In an interview with ABC News, Ms Clinton said the Benghazi attacks inquiry from Republicans gives her a greater incentive to run for the White House because she considers the multiple investigations into the attacks “minor league ball” for a country of the United States’ stature.
