Benghazi Committee And Clinton At Odds On Plan For Her To Testify
[su_publirb]
The Clinton camp announced she would testify October 22, but the Republican-led Benghazi committee disputes the details.
“We have had a chance to review the statement released by the inspectors general of the State Department and intelligence community outlining their concerns with regard to the State Department’s review and release of Hillary Clinton’s work emails,” Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign, said in a statement Saturday.
…a spokesman for the Republican-led committee issued a statement a few hours later saying Mrs. Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, had stipulated that acceptance of the October date would depend on the committee’s agreeing to question Mrs. Clinton only about the Benghazi attacks, not about her private email account, and on a commitment that the date of the hearing would not change.
“Secretary Clinton’s campaign may want to reach out to her lawyer,” the committee spokesman, Jamal Ware, said. “As of last night, Mr. Kendall was still negotiating conditions for her appearance.”
But Mr. Merrill said that was false. “As the committee’s own statement says, we have made clear that we understand emails are in their jurisdiction,” Mr. Merrill said. “So unless the committee now believes emails are no longer in its jurisdiction, we are in agreement.”
