The select Benghazi committee holds its first open hearing today on Capitol Hill.

FOX News Radio’s Rachel Sutherland reports from Washington.

Former State Department employee Raymond Maxwell claims Hillary Clinton staffers hid potentially damaging documents from an independent board investigating the terror attacks.

The State Department says the accusation is without merit.

The select committee is looking for answers to lingering questions about the assaults that killed four Americans, including an ambassador. Democrats say this latest probe is politically motivated.
