Gowdy: Benghazi Panel to Interview Clinton, Rice, Petraeus ‘Soon’

NEWSMAX

A special House committee looking into the deadly Benghazi attacks in 2012 will interview a host of high-ranking Obama administration officials as it speeds the pace of the investigation.

The panel’s chairman is Republican Trey Gowdy of South Carolina. Gowdy says he’ll interview 20 high-ranking officials, including former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and former CIA Director David Petraeus, as well as White House chief of staff Denis McDonough and national security adviser Susan Rice.

Gowdy has said he will interview former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. He said Friday that interview should occur “as soon as possible.”

Gowdy said last week he was frustrated at the slow pace of the investigation and was going to “ratchet it up.”
