U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has agreed to testify before the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee on the Benghazi attacks of 2012, a State Department official told TPM on Friday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Kerry agreed to testify on June 12 or June 20, adding that his appearance “will eliminate any need” for him to appear a second time before the House select committee on Benghazi.

Early this month, House Oversight Chair Darrell Issa (R-CA) issued a subpoena for Kerry to testify on the issue.

  1. What could any committee possibly think to learn from Kerry, who wasn’t in the administration at the time?

    Learn from Kerry? Hell I am trying to figure out they are going to learn that is not already known from the previous - 13 hearings, 50 briefings and 25,000 pages of documents.

  3. I think we all know that these hearings have nothing to do with “learning” anything.

    Clearly if they haven’t learned what they need to know by now then they have a learning disability :smile:
