Kerry Says He'll Appear Before Issa Panel on Benghazi

BY CATHERINE CHOMIAK

Secretary of State John Kerry will appear before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer questions about Benghazi, according to a letter from the State Department obtained by NBC News.

"As we have previously communicated to the Committee, we believe there are witnesses better suited to answer questions regarding the Department's response to Congressional investigations of the Benghazi attacks," Assistant Secretary of State Julia Frifield wrote. "However, in the interest of accommodation and to resolve once and for all any outstanding, relevant questions, the Secretary is prepared to appear before the committee on June 12 or 20."

Kerry has been subpoenaed twice by the committee's chairman, Representative Darrell Issa, but the State Department said Kerry was unable to appear on the dates Issa selected.

An Issa spokesman said that the chairman has accepted the offer and scheduled testimony for June 12.

...already testified about this. Issa wants to destroy her chance for a successful presidential bid...and is using the current SOS to do so.

JK's integrity and reputation precede him. Issa doesn't stand a chance.
