WASHINGTON (AP) — The bickering has flared once more between Hillary Rodham Clinton’s team and the Republican-led House committee investigating the Benghazi attacks, this time over negotiations for the former secretary of state’s possible testimony.
A spokesman for the Democrat’s presidential campaign, Nick Merrill, said Saturday she would testify in a public session Oct. 22 before lawmakers examining the deaths of four Americans in the 2012 attacks in Libya. Not so fast, the committee said.
Committee spokesman Jamal Ware said in an interview that the committee and Clinton’s lawyer were “still in negotiation” and nothing has been finalized, including the date of an appearance and the terms under which she would testify.
