A U.S. House of Representatives committee investigating a 2012 attack on a U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, has extended the deadline for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to turn over related emails, a panel spokesman confirmed Monday.
Republican Representative Trey Gowdy, head of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, said on March 4 that Clinton had until March 13 to comply with a subpoena to provide the committee with relevant emails. The deadline has been extended to March 27, the spokesman confirmed.
”Chairman Gowdy granted a reasonable extension because for him this is not about politics. It is about getting all relevant documents for the committee,” said Jamal Ware, spokesman for the committee. “He still believes the best option for Secretary Clinton is to turn over her server to a neutral arbiter to independently determine what should be in the public domain. The committee has no interest in her personal emails.”
Gowdy’s committee is investigating the attack in which a U.S. ambassador was killed, along with three other Americans, during Clinton’s tenure at the State Department. He has said he wants Clinton to testify to the committee before April, when she is expected to formally announce her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination.
