ms. brooks based upon the e-mail stacks that you engaged in a lot of conversations and briefings, so i amg this conversation with this member of your staff took place in one of those briefings. but then she sent this e-mail asking about this. yourw can this be a two of staffers are e-mailing about whether you knew that we had a presence in benghazi in 2012, with all your interest in libya in 2011, including your trip october 2011, and months later we come to find out you did not know if we had a presence. ms. clinton: i cannot comment on what has been reported. of course i knew we had a presence in benghazi and were evaluating what that presents should be. i knew exactly what we were doing in libya. , since it is important you have some very legitimate questions about what we were doing. majorited states played a role in the first election the libyan people had in 51 years. it was a successful election and they voted for moderates. they voted for the kind of people they wanted to govern them. we had a very successful effort that the united states supported, getting rid of gaddafi's remain

ms. brooks. >> i would like to ask you about your decision-making and the discussions you had as it related to how long the benghazi position would last. i'm putting up a map just because most of us really don't know much about libya, don't know much about the geography of libya. and as we've talked about these various communities, i don't think most people really realized. so i want to share with you that we know from my last round that chris stevens went into benghazi in april of 2011. i want to talk to you about what happened the rest of that year. just because there was a lot going on, i thought it would be helpful to have this map. so by mid-july, our government formally recognized the tnc as the official government of libya replacing the gadhafi regime. tnc was replaced in benghazi at that time. then in august after the gadhafi government fell, gadhafi went over into -- he left tripoli, where gadhafi had been headquartered and he went into hiding in sirte. once that happened the tnc moved their benghazi headquarter over to tripoli. then in september we reopened our embassy in tripoli
