{VOA NEWS/WASHINGTON} —A Republican-led investigation of a 2012 terrorist attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Libya that killed four Americans ended Tuesday with no new allegations about the actions of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, now the presumptive 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

Clinton, who monitored the incident as it unfolded on September 11, 2012, told a campaign rally that the House of Representatives investigative panel “found nothing, nothing to contradict” findings about the attack in numerous other earlier investigations.

“It’s pretty clear it’s time to move on,” she said.

The panel’s chairman, Congressman Trey Gowdy, said Tuesday, “No U.S. military assets were ever deployed to Benghazi” despite the orders of President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. READ MORE OF THIS STORY
