not overreach and to not look too political. it was a marathon day. hillary clinton on the hot seat for over eight hours. the entire hearing lasting 11 hours. right out of the gate, republican committee chairman trey gowdy telling clinton, the investigation's not about her. >> this investigation is about four people who were killed representing our country on foreign soil. it is about what happened before, during and after the attacks that killed them. different take. >> this abusive effort to derail secretary clinton's presidential campaign. >> reporter: republicans released a never before seen e-mail that clinton wrote the night of the attack addressed to diane reynolds, the name she used for e-mails to her daughter chelsea. two of our officers were killed in benghazi by an al qaeda-like group, she wrote but that's a different position than the one

the obama administration took immediately after saying it was a protest over an anti-islamic video that grew violent. gop lawmakers also focused on requests for increased security and the state department responds. >> you had two ambassadors that made several, several requests and here's basically what happened to their requests. they were torn up. >> well, that's just not true, congressman. >> reporter: throughout the long hearing, clinton was cool, deliberate, not taking any political bait from republicans. >> i would imagine i've thought more about what happened than all of you put together. i've lost more sleep than all of you put together. i have been wracking my brain about what more could have been done. >> reporter: so, after 11 hours, did we really learn anything new, even committee chairman trey gowdy struggled to come up with something when asked after the hearing. he said he didn't think clinton's testimony was any different from her previous

appearances but, phillip and reena, he said he'd have to look at the transcripts and it is very long. >> it certainly was. but politically here, what's the impact? does it hurt her run for president? >> reporter: no, this is about as good of a day as team clinton could have hoped for. no outbursts or missteps that could be used later against her in a political ad. she let the democrats on that committee go after it for her. let them get in the mud with the republicans while she sat back and at times smiled and laughed. phillip and reena i think when we look back on this period in a couple of month this two weeks with the debate, joe biden getting out of the race and yesterday's appearance, this is the period we could say she locked down the nomination. >> good news for the clinton camp. karen travers live in washington, thank you. breaking news from nashville nashville, one person killed in a shooting at tennessee state university. two others wounded. the shooting apparently stemmed from a dispute over a dice game

plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. right when you feel a cold sore, abreva can heal it in as few as two and a half days when used at the first sign. without it the virus spreads from cell to cell. only abreva penetrates deep and starts to work immediately to block the virus and protect healthy cells. you could heal your cold sore, fast, as fast as two and a half days when used at the first sign. learn how abreva starts to work immediately at abreva.com don't tough it out, knock it out, fast.
