Under oath before the benghazi committee. The panel is investigating the 2012 attack on u. S. Diplomatic buildings in benghazi, libya. Four americans were killed. Ambassador chris steven, sean smith, glen doherty and tyrone woods. Republicans are searching for any mistakes made on secretary clintons watch. Democrats say benghazi has been thoroughly investigated and the hearing is only designed to damage her. This is a live picture of her returning. Her testimony began more than eight hours ago. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Reporter the hearing started out cordle with handshakes, but things quickly grew tense. I think if you look at the statement i made, i clearly said that it was an attack. Calling it an attack is like saying the sky is blue. Of course it was an attack. Reporter republicans accuse clinton of ignoring requests from ambassador Chris Stevens for more security. Georgias Lynn Westmoreland how many instances would it have taken you to say, hey, we need the look at his security over there . No one ever came to me and said, we should shut down our compound in benghazi. Well, im not saying shut it down. Im saying protect it. Reporter it was this committee that uncovered clintons use of a private email system. There are 795 emails in this pile. Reporter Committee Chair trey gowdy focused on the dozens of emails clinton got from her longtime friend Sidney Blumenthal did the president know that mr. Blumenthal was advising you . He wasnt advising you . Did he know he was your most prolific eimer that we have found on the subjects of libya and benghazi. I dont know what this line of questioning does to help us get to the bottom of the deaths of four americans. Ill be happy to help you understand that, madam secretary. Its relevant because our ambassador was asked to read and respond to Sidney Blumenthals drivel. It was sent to him to read and react to. In some instances on the very same day he was asking for security. Reporter democrat Elijah Cummings calls its a show trial. They set up this select committee with no rules, no deadlines and an unlimited budget, and they set them loose, madam secretary, because youre running for president. Reporter california democrat adam schiff noted the committee has canceled every hearing the past nine months except for this one. I wonder if you would like to comment on what its like to be the subject of an allegation that you deliberately interfered with security that cost the life of a friend well, congressman, its very personally painful accusation. It has been rejected and disproven by nonpartisan, nevertheless, having it continued to be bandied around is deeply distressing to me. You know, i would imagine ive thought more about what happened than all of you put together. Reporter clinton seems determined not to show the kind of anger that makes great fodder for negative campaign ads. Any time her voice raises, she quickly selfcorrects. Were now moving into hour nine of this hearing, scott, and it shows no sign of wrapping up soon. Pelley nancy cordes outside the hearing room. Thanks. Also watching the hearing does was cbs news political director John Dickerson and anchor of face the nation. Highstakes day for hillary clinton. What was your impression . Reporter this was never going to be a great day for her, but there were two political pitfalls she had to worry about, the first was any new revelation that called her leadership into question as secretary of state. The second pitfall was a moment where she would look callus and dishonest, and so far shes been able to avoid those pitfalls. Pelley there were no are revelations today . Not so far, no. Committee . They were fighting like cats and dogs between the republicans and democrats. The republicans had a special challenge to, keep the questioning always focused on the central idea of why did this happen, and that was important for substantive reason, but also because there have been charges that this is a totally political investigation. Theyre just going after hillary clinton. While there were moments that illuminated things we already knew about this tragedy, there were also moments where the questioning was quite secondary to that central question of why did this happen. Pelley John Dickerson, well see you sunday on face the nation. Thank you. Now, today the First American was killed in combat in the war against isis.
