Democrats on the House committee investigating the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya, have issued a report disputing what they say are unsubstantiated claims by some Republican members of Congress about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The report summarizes the results of 54 interviews and depositions conducted by the committee and includes unclassified testimony from top Clinton aides, including chief of staff Cheryl Mills.
Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the panel’s top Democrat, said the report shows that no witness has substantiated what he called “wild Republican conspiracy theories about Secretary Clinton and Benghazi,” including a widely debunked claim that Clinton or other top officials issued a “stand down” order during the September 2012 attacks.
Clinton, a Democratic candidate for president, is set to testify Thursday at a public hearing.
