Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has agreed to testify before the House committee investigating her potential connection to the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012. The testimony, set to take place Oct. 22, will be public, Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said Saturday.
Clinton had previously agreed to testify to the committee, which her supporters say is grasping at straws to tie her to the attack, but until now Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) had insisted on keeping it private, The Washington Post reports.
