GOP: Still no deal on Clinton testimony to Benghazi panel – San Francisco

“This was never about a hearing, but about getting the documents”, the committee chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., told The Washington Post.

Clinton’s campaign and House Republicans have sparred for months over her possible testimony and her refusal to turn over a private email server she used as secretary of state.

At least four emails out of some 30,000 from Clinton’s private account contained classified information, as said by a government inspector’s letter to Congress last week.

The State Department has provided the committee with thousands of documents, but Gowdy has repeatedly said he is looking for additional records relating to a few of Clinton’s staff as well as the former secretary. However, committee spokesman Jamal Ware said later in the day that the committee and Clinton’s lawyer were “still in negotiation” and nothing has been finalized.

Gowdy had threatened to subpoena Finer, but also said last week when announcing the hearing that production of a “substantial” amount of documents would enable a postponement.

The panel’s GOP Chairman said Monday night that the State Department has agreed to produce a large number of documents Tuesday, and as a result he’s canceling a planned hearing Wednesday with Kerry aide Jon Finer.

“If the State Department does not fulfill this production, or if production continues to be anemic and underwhelming, we will move forward with scheduling a compliance hearing before the committee”, he added.

Montana Hillary Clinton’s presidential promotion said on Saturday the previous law is going to confirm on October 22 before a House board examining the 2012 Benghazi, Libya, flareups, except a orator when it comes to the panel said no date seemed to be create.
