"No one could ever question her, her strong feelings about the rule of law and her ethics — I repeat — are the best," he added.

Their comments come after Lynch and Clinton met in Arizona, hours before the House Benghazi Committee released a report on the 2012 terror attacks in Libya. Lynch told reporters that they didn't discuss the issue.

"There was no discussion on any matter pending before the Department or any matter pending with any other body, there was no discussion of Benghazi, no discussion of State Department emails," she told reporters.

Reid also defended former Hillary Clinton Thursday, noting she has been on the campaign trail in her White House bid for more than a year "in spite of the fact that the Koch brothers have spent $30 million in money trying to make something out of Benghazi."
