Clinton And Benghazi Coverup

The term "Clinton and Benghazi cover-up" refers to allegations that Hillary Clinton, who served as the U.S. Secretary of State during the Obama administration, and her department engaged in a cover-up following the 2012 Benghazi attack. The attack, which occurred on September 11, 2012, resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, at the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. Critics have accused Clinton and her department of downplaying the role of terrorism in the attack and misleading the public by initially attributing it to a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islamic video. The phrase "cover-up" is translated to Hebrew as "הסתרת עובדות" (hasterut ovdot) and to French as "couverture" or "étouffement." The controversy has been a subject of extensive investigations, including those by the U.S. House Select Committee on Benghazi, which concluded that while there were failures in security and leadership, there was no evidence of a deliberate cover-up by Clinton or her department.
