Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Thursday that Republicans are taking her committee's Benghazi report out of context to blame Hillary Clinton.

Feinstein said that some senators and media reports are misconstruing the report, which was released Wednesday, as an indictment of Clinton and proof that she was culpable for the deaths of four Americans at the mission in Benghazi.
