Hillary Clinton defends handling of Benghazi attack

Help

Outgoing US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has defended her handling of the raid on a US consulate in Libya, in back-to-back hearings on Capitol Hill.

Mrs Clinton took responsibility for security failures that led to the 11 September attack but said she had not seen requests for more security beforehand.

It was her last appearance at Congress as America's top diplomat.
