Clinton defended her actions, and called out Congress for not adequately funding security requests.In his opening statement, Paul rebuked Clinton's leadership at the State Department.Kentucky's junior senator added that Clinton leaving the Obama administration was an acceptance of her culpability in what Paul called "the worst tragedy since 9/11."Watch:
