U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fainted and suffered a concussion, the Associated Press reported on Saturday. Clinton is now “recovering at home.”

“While suffering from a stomach virus, Secretary Clinton became dehydrated and fainted, sustaining a concussion,” spokesman Philippe Reines said in a statement obtained by Reuters.

“She has been recovering at home and will continue to be monitored regularly by her doctors. At their recommendation, she will continue to work from home next week, staying in regular contact with department and other officials. She is looking forward to being back in the office soon,” Reines added.

Clinton was expected to testify on the Benghazi, Libya attacks before a House committee next week, December 20th.
