Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has suffered a concussion after fainting due to a stomach bug. According to the State Department, "While suffering from a stomach virus, Secretary Clinton became dehydrated and fainted, sustaining a concussion." She is now recovering at home in Chappaqua.

She is being monitored by doctors and will work from home next week at their recommendation, according to a statement. CNN noted that she was supposed to testify about Benghazi on December 20th, but it seems unlikely that will happen now. This is the same virus that prevented her from travelling to Morocco this week.
