Preview

This will not be the first time that Congress asks about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

This is the eighth time Congress has probed the issue.

Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State when the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked on September 11, 2012. Four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in the terrorist attack.

The House Select Committee on Benghazi says it is searching for answers to what happened that night. Was enough protection given to the Americans working in Libya? The committee’s work took a turn when it discovered that Hillary Clinton used a private server for her email when she was Secretary of State something that is not illegal, but has been criticized as irregular. A political cloud hangs over the hearings. Commentators have filled the airwaves saying this could be a turning point for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. If she does well, it will help her. But if she stumbles under Republican questioning, it could damage her presidential chances.

Critics have questioned the time, money and motivation of the committee’s investigation. Representative Adam Schiff is a Democrat from California, and serves on the committee. He told the New York Times that they have spent $4.5 million over 17 months. But, he said, they have not uncovered anything new about the Benghazi attacks.
