Hillary Clinton says she'll testify about Benghazi attacks, Lawyer Says.

Pulbished on:
Washington, 5 May 2015(Lana) The lawyer of the former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she would testify before the congressional committee charged with investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks. In a letter to U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., the chairman of the select committee, the lawyer said she is "ready and willing to testify" when required. The letter said she would testify once, not twice as Gowdy requested. "Respectfully, there is no basis, logic, or precedent for such an unusual request," attorney David Kendell said. "The secretary is fully prepared to stay for the duration of the Committee's questions on the day she appears." Gowdy said last month he wanted Clinton to answer in two open sessions questions about the Benghazi attack, and the use of her personal e mail at the time when she was a secretary of state between 2009 and 2013. Kendell's speech was published by Elijah Comings, a senior Democratic member of the Benghazi commission. A spokesman for Gowdy said he would consider Rendell's response and issue a statement over the 'future course.' =Lana=
