Darrell Issa Releases John Kerry from Benghazi Hearing

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa announced Friday that he would release Secretary of State John Kerry from a scheduled hearing on the Benghazi terror attacks.

Issa subpoenaed Kerry shortly prior to Boehner’s announcement that he would appoint a select committee to investigate the attack.

Kerry agreed to testify for the hearing, scheduled for June 12.

Issa praised the Oversight Committee’s investigations into the Benghazi attacks, asserting that they were a precursor to the decision to establish the select committee.
