WASHINGTON — Republicans on the House committee investigating the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, said Tuesday that there is no agreement with Hillary Rodham Clinton over her possible appearance before the panel.
A spokesman for Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said “nothing has changed” since Gowdy balked Saturday at an announcement by Clinton’s presidential campaign that she would testify Oct. 22. Gowdy is chairman of the special committee, which is investigating the attacks that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
Clinton’s campaign and House Republicans have sparred for months over her possible testimony and her refusal to turn over a private email server she used as secretary of state.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Tuesday that Clinton should “come clean” and turn the server over to the State Department’s inspector general.
Boehner also disputed Clinton’s claim that she did not send or receive classified emails on her private account while serving as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. Federal investigators said last week they have alerted the Justice Department to a potential compromise of classified information arising from Clinton’s private email server.
