Hillary Clinton called her eleven-hour testimony in front of the Benghazi House Select Committee a “pretty long day” in remarks at the DNC Women’s Leadership Forum on Friday morning, NBC News reported.
Clinton said she was glad that she “finally got to answer questions” during the hearing on Thursday, “something I’ve been pushing for literally a year.”
Campaign aides said they were pleased with Clinton’s performance at the hearing, but maintained that last week’s debate was a “bigger moment” for her to showcase her strengths. They were also frustrated over the committee’s fixation on Sidney Blumenthal, Clinton's long-time ally.
During the speech, Clinton also commented on Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not run for president and on Bernie Sanders’s comments on gun control.
