Hundreds of people are gathering outside the Longworth House Office Building before the highly anticipated public hearing where Hillary Rodham Clinton is to testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

News photographers are packing the well of a hearing room normally used by the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. It's the largest hearing room on the House side of the Capitol.

Clinton - the Democratic front-runner for president in 2016 - is the sole witness at the hearing.

It's the fourth hearing since the committee was formed in May 2014.
