>> you know, 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 racking my brain about what more could have been done or should have been done. >> there was more drama and some tension as the day wore on. >> steve handelsman has been tracking it all. he's live at the capitol with the latest. hi, steve. >> reporter: hi, doreen. it is a marathon and no admission by former secretary of state, now presidential candidate hillary clinton that she did anything wrong and so much is on the line, really, for her and her presidential campaign and for house republicans who have had to defend their investigation as being political. >> the showdown got emotional and four americans died in benghazi. >> okay. what must we do better? >> reporter: republicans said

tell the truth. >> what did our leaders in washington do or not do and when? >> reporter: clinton testified as secretary of state she never saw slain ambassador chris stephens' request for more security. >> reporter: he did not raise security with me. he raised security with the security professionals. >> reporter: republicans charge after the u.s. facilities were overround 9/11 2012, clinton covered up. >> you knew the truth and that's not what the american people got. >> reporter: republicans have clinton emails and one that her family just after the attack and she blamed an al qaedalike group and publicly she blamed anger over an anti-muslim video. >> there was a lot of conflicting information that we were trying to make sense of. >> republicans charged clinton was protecting president obama running for re-election claiming he had al qaeda on the run and you can live with a protest about a video. that won't hurt you, but a terrorist attack will. you can't be square with the

american people. >> reporter: democrats say today's hearing is about the 2016 election, back to libyan emails, 2011 on the right and 2012 on the left was clinton ignoring the danger. she said she used memos and meetings. >> i did not have a computer, and i did not do the vast majority of my work on email. clinton kept her cool as the q and a went on and on. 44% of americans in the latest nbc news-wall street journal poll said they had problems with hillary clinton over benghazi and doreen that was before today's hearing and it seemed sure to change minds. back to you. >> steve, we've been trying to sample people's opinions about clinton's testimony today. take a look at the results of the flash survey. we asked people what they thought about hillary clinton's responses. more than half of you say her answers should satisfy the critics. i want to go back to steve handelsman now. this testimony, you called it a marathon that's been going on

all day and most of us haven't been able to be tuned in for the entire thing. did republicans find anything new? did they find anything that may cause problems for clinton going forward? >> reporter: well, i'm going to say maybe to that, doreen. let's talk about the big issues very quickly. did anything come out about hillary clinton knowing that benghazi was more dangerous than she's admitted? no. did there come out that there could have been a better, quicker pentagon response and lives could have been saved? no. did it come out definitively that hillary clinton knew for a fact that this was a terrorist attack and not related to anger over a video. not really. the republicans could dispute that, but there was one thing that republicans spent an awful lot of time about, and clinton smiled and democrats rolled their eyes and it involved sydney blumenthal, former journalist and close friend from of bill and hillary clinton and he was banned from the obama white house from working at the

state department and now we find out it was revealed in some detail before and a lot of detail today from these emails that hillary clinton has turned over that she got hundreds, e-mails and exchanged them with sydney blumenthal and not because he knew a lot about libya, but because he knew a lot about politics and they batted around the politics of this to which republicans say why do you give access to your private email to that guy and not chris stephens who could have used it, they imply to ask his friend hillary clinton for more security. she said it's apples and oranges. he knew, chris stephens, that he would get his response not from me, but from the security professionals and republicans, doreen hope that takes root somehow. we'll have to see. back to you. >> steve handles man at the capital. thanks, steve. >> tonight a federal watchdog is sending a secret service two officers asleep on the job. the other stationed at the white

told they would be killed that morning right after morning prayers. one u.s. special operations force was killed. he was shot and wounded and he later died of his wounds, but this raises questions about president obama's mandate that there would be no boots on the ground involved in combat and officials at the pentagon insist this was no regular combat mission. it was more a humanitarian rescue mission, but there are concerns this could lead to mission creep in iraq for the u.s. military, jim. >> nbc's jim miklaszewski. thanks so much. >> you bet. >> for the very latest on this story be sure to watch "nightly news" after this broadcast. now to presidential politics. a new shift in the race in iowa. ben carson has pushed past donald trump in the swing state. the quinnipiac poll show 28% of

done to him. >> george mckinley was severance's lawyer when the accused lived in cumberland from 2003 to 2005. defense attorneys turned to him and several friends and relatives to attack a key piece of prosecution evidence and target security video that shows a man resembling severance, following victim nancy dunning. an hour later she was shot to death. mckinley and the others all came to the same conclusion after watching the video. >> it's not charlie severance. that man is way more stocky than charlie was. his facial features are completely different. it is so obvious. >> reporter: jurors have the day off friday. closing arguments could come as soon as next wednesday. in fairfax county, i'm julie carey, news 4. >> he waited and waited, but no one came to help so he took matters into his own hands. the new fallout as a man crawls off a plane to get to his wheelchair at reagan national airport. 95-year-old woman was struck and killed at this intersection

it's even longer to sit on three straight losses and reinforce ams could be coming in for the redskins and jordan reid were back on the practice field for the second straight day and the two players are still going through the league's concussion protocol and they have not been cleared for contact. jay gruden is hoping they'll be available this evening or tomorrow morning. >> they look good out here, but you never know. so i don't even begin to guess on this concussion protocol thing and they have their own way of doing things which is good. i'm not a doctor so i'm not even going to begin to challenge what they're doing with them. they have tests to go through and if not, we'll have another week to go through. >> fans still want to hear from the former franchise quarterback. they did watch this entire regular season and that media session was caught off by the team's pr staff after the jets game this past sunday. i've reached out to the redskins

pr staff oneral sev different occasions to interview griffin one-on-one or for them to do a media session and all of those requests have been denied and based on the policy, the media is allowed to interview him during the locker room session throughout the week. here's a look at the nfl media policy. it clearly states it is the club's responsibility to deliver access to all players during this time period, referring to the open locker room session, and each player's responsibility to cooperate. the head of the redskins pr staff tony wiley did provide a statement for us. he said the team is focused on beating tampa bay this week. here's the thing, if you're not going to let griffin talk because you think he's a distraction. he's buried on the depth chart as third string quarterback, why is he on this roster in the first place and why keep him around? >> i don't think we need -- >> we've heard so much from him

already. >> he has a ton of fans still in this area and ton of supporters and people want to see him playing and they want to know how he's feeling about this situation. >> we know how he's feeling. >> we haven't heard. >> i would like to play. >> we have not heard, doug. >> let's move over to baseball now for a moment. don mattingly is out as manager for the l.a. dodgers. could he be the next skipper for the nationals? the 54-year-old mattingly has spent the past five years in l.a. and his resume is impressive. three trips to the postseason and 446 wins and 363 losses and his teams have never finished below 500 or lower than third in the national league west. mattingly has also been linked to the nats in the past when he was still the bench coach with the dodgers and they hired jim riggleman that season. the nats have interviewed dusty baker, ron1 gardenhire and som

other names on that list and giants bench coach ron wotus and third base coach andy green and the aaa affiliate. the national, of course, trying to do what the nates have done this year. they beat the cubs to advance last night and they were powered from the bat of daniel murphy and that includes a record six straight games with homers and it was between the toronto and kansas city and game six in that contest comes your way tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. no one, and i mean nobody had the mets in the world series and just make it to the postseason and you've got a shot. >> that rotation is phenomenal. >> they looked good. >> thank you. see you at 11:00. that's going to do it for us and "nightly news" is heading your way next and hope to see you at news 4 at 11:00. have a good evening.
