Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is testifying Thursday in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi regarding the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that left Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others dead.
Clinton’s long-awaited testimony comes as Republicans and Democrats ramp up debate over whether the inquiry is politically motivated to hurt Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Earlier this month, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy abruptly withdrew from the race for House speaker, citing a gaffe he made tying the Benghazi probe to Clinton’s sagging poll numbers. Since then, Republicans have tried to downplay that theory, insisting they are merely trying to clarify Clinton’s role in the deadly 2012 attack.
Last year, the GOP-controlled House Intelligence Committee cleared the Obama administration, including Clinton, of any wrongdoing. But reports earlier this year revealed that Clinton used a personal Internet server at her home to send emails to her staff — including messages about Benghazi — instead of corresponding with them through her government account. That, in turn, has raised questions about whether classified information was illegally passed through insecure channels that could be hacked or otherwise compromised.
