A House Republican report faulted the Obama administration for mishandling Libya policy and its response to the September 2012 attacks in Benghazi, but offered no significant new revelations about the role played by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
As secretary of state, Clinton should have recognized that extremists posed a risk to U.S. officials in Libya before the attacks that killed four Americans, according to the politically charged report released Tuesday by a committee that has been looking into the Obama administration’s handling of the incident. It came less than a month before the Democratic National Convention.
