Clinton says she feels emboldened to run for president because of Republican criticism of her handling of the deadly 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya. Clinton says in an interview with ABC News airing June 9 that she remains undecided about another campaign in 2016. But she says the GOP-led Benghazi inquiry is “more of a reason to run” because she considers the multiple investigations into the attacks “minor league ball” for a country of the United States’ stature.

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton is seeking to refine comments she made about being “dead broke” when she and President Bill Clinton left the White House.
The former secretary of state tells ABC’s “Good Morning America”, “I fully appreciate how hard life is for so many Americans today.”
Clinton said she and former President Bill Clinton left the White House in 2001 roughly $12 million in debt, largely from legal bills. But she said, “We’ve continued to be blessed in the last 14 years.”
Clinton hinted Tuesday she might be leaning toward another run for president, saying, “I want to use the talents and resources that I have to make sure that others” have the same opportunities.
She said, “We have gone through some of the same challenges that many people have.”
