3:54 am
testy confrontations, but the fiery exchanges didn't come from clinton. they mostly came from the panel aimed at each other. >> clinton spent more than eight hours before the committee. the word "e-mail" mentioned nearly 300 times. and the committee has interviewed 54 witnesses with morto come. so far the committee's investigation has cost taxpayers just under $5 million. abs karen travers live in washington with more. karen, what a day. good morningo you. >> reporter: what a day. good morning, reena and phillip. this appearance was a long time coming. hillary clinton is certainly the most high-profile person to be questioned by this select committee. she faced a grling, but there was also very significant scruti on the questions and tone from the republicans who were warned by veterans in their party to 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 hos. right out of the gate,
3:55 am
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. >> reporter: but democrats had a 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 byby an al qda-like group," she wrote, butut that's different position than the one the obama administration took immediately after the attack saying it was a protest over an anti-islamic video t that grew violent. gop lawmakers also focused on requests for increased security and the state department responds.
3:56 am
>> 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 n all of you put together. i have been racking 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 by reporters after the hearing. he said that he didn't think clinton's testimony was any different from her previous appearances but, phillip and reena, he said he'd have to go back and look at the transcripts and it is very long. >> it certainly was, karen. but politically here, karen, what's the impact? does it in any way hurt her run for president?
3:57 am
>> reporter: no, this is about as good of a days team clinton could have hoped for. there were no major outbursts. there were no political missteps, nothing that could be used later against her in a political ad. she really let the democrats on that committee go after it for her, let them get in thehe 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 months, this two weeks starting with the debate, joe biden getting out of the race and then yesterday's appearance, this could be the period where we say hillary clinton really locked down the nomination. >> yep, some good news for the clinton camp. karen travers live in washington, thank you. and breaking news from nashville, one person killed in a shooting at tennessee state university. two others were wounded. the shooting apparently stemmed from a dispute over a dice game in a courtyard. the incident comes just over a
