FILE - This May 14, 2014, file photo shows former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton speaking in Washington. 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.

FILE - This Jan. 18, 1996 file photo shows President Bill Clinton meets reporters in the briefing room of the White House in Washington. Former President Bill Clinton mused that congressional Republicans wanted to abolish a federal agency because it was headed by a black man, and his administration voiced concerns about the mass killings in Rwanda, according to a new batch of records released Friday. Documents show that during a practice session for his 1996 State of the Union speech, Clinton unloaded on GOP lawmakers who wanted to kill the Commerce Department. Clinton suggested they wanted to get rid of the department because the late Commerce Secretary Ron Brown did a better job than corporate executives who had served. (AP Photo/Doug Mills, File)
