Nuland faced criticism from Republican lawmakers for her behind-the-scenes efforts to erase al Qaeda references from the White House talking points that were issued in the wake of the attacks.
Some of her fiercest critics alleged a cover-up, a charge Nuland vehemently denied and defended herself against during the hearings.
Nuland made it clear that she was not in a policy position at the time and was chiefly concerned with keeping the administration’s public remarks consistent.
Ms. Nuland said that she had a communications role at the State Department and not a policy job, explaining that she did not read intelligence reports because it would have been too difficult to keep that information separate.
Nuland explained that she was instructed by her superiors to be vague about what precisely had taken place.
