Hillary to testify on Benghazi attack
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify this month before US lawmakers at Senate and House hearings about the deadly September attack on the US mission in Benghazi, Libya, top lawmakers said Friday.
Hillary "has committed to testify before the committee before the end of the session" of Congress, Senator John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a letter to fellow members.
Kerry said the top US diplomat will discuss findings of the State Department's Accountability Review Board, which other officials said was expected to release its Benghazi findings next week. The next session of Congress starts on January 3, but typically lawmakers wrap up business by the end of the year.
Hillary is also due to testify before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs "to discuss, in an open hearing, the findings and recommendations" of the review board, committee chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said.
Ros-Lehtinen's office said the board's report was due to be released next week, and that Clinton would testify "soon thereafter."
