Source: CNN breaking news
Washington (CNN)The bitter political undercurrents surrounding the Benghazi attacks burst into the open Thursday with Democrats and Republicans feuding over the role of a special investigative panel while Hillary Clinton came under intense fire for her handling of the tragedy.
The Democratic presidential front-runner mounted a passionate defense of her response to the violence, telling the Republicans arrayed against her that she had lost more sleep over the deaths of four Americans in Libya than anyone else on the panel.
"I would imagine I have thought more about what happened than all of you put together," she said. "I have lost more sleep than all of you put together. I have been wracking my brain about what more could have been done or should have been done."
Moments later, her Democratic allies on the panel succeeded in pushing Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy into losing his cool. The hearing quickly degenerated into a fierce encounter over procedure between Gowdy and Ranking Member Elijah Cummings, allowing Clinton to appear above the partisan fray, as she silently watched the exchange while resting her chin on her hand and rubbing her temples.
