Friday at a short press conference, Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she hopes her October 22, testimony regarding her wiping her email server clean while her emails were under a subpoena by chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy’s (R-SC) Select Committee on Benghazi “will be the last effort by some in the Congress to politicize the tragic events of Benghazi.”
Clinton said, “With respect to the appearance before the committee, I think this will be, by my count, the eighth committee in the Congress that has looked into the tragic events in Benghazi. I have been saying for nearly a year, I am more than willing, eager, ready to go up and testify. I offered dates in the spring and early summer. And when they came back with alternative dates, I immediately said, I’ll be there. And I will be there. And I hope that this will be the last effort by some in the Congress to politicize the tragic events of Benghazi. And that we do what all the other investigations, both the congressional ones and the independent one, and press—and others who have examined this—we will do what we can to make sure it doesn’t happen again. And that’s always been my focus.”
