Clinton Spends 10 Hours Before House Committee On Benghazi

(Associated Press) - More than 10 hours after a hearing on the Benghazi attacks began, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is expressing hope that statesmanship will overcome partisanship as lawmakers investigate the 2012 attacks that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.

Clinton told the special House committee investigating Benghazi that she came to the hearing because she said she would. And, she says she tried to answer the lawmakers' questions. As she put it, ``I cannot do any more than that.''

Clinton said her answers have changed ``not at all'' since she appeared two years ago before other House and Senate committees investigating the attacks.

She called it ``deeply unfortunate that something as serious as what happened in Benghazi should ever be used for partisan political purposes.'' And, as she put it, ``I am hoping we can move forward together.''
