Huma Abedin, Hillary Rodham Clinton’s longtime personal aide, testified behind closed doors for eight hours on Friday before the Republican-controlled Benghazi committee, as Mrs. Clinton and House Democrats continued to try to discredit the panel for what they say are efforts to undermine her presidential bid.
Ms. Abedin said in a brief news conference that she had answered all of the committee’s questions, but she declined to address what she said and did not criticize the panel.(…)
The release then said that the committee’s charter did not include two matters surrounding Mrs. Clinton’s campaign: the Clinton Foundation and Ms. Abedin’s special employment status, which allowed her to work for outside companies.
