The report found no new evidence of wrongdoing by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who has maintained that inquiries into the Benghazi attack are part of partisan attacks against her. The committee touted new information included in the report, including details indicating that no military assets were en route to Benghazi almost eight hours after the attacks began. In a statement on Tuesday, a State Department spokesman said it has “made great progress” toward making international posts safer since the 2012 attack.
