[Daily Caller] In an interview during a media tour to promote her latest memoir, Hillary Clinton acknowledged that she kept extensive notes during the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi but said that she wonÂ’t turn them over to congressional investigators if asked.
“Did you keep a diary during your time?” NBC News’ Cynthia McFadden asked Clinton in an interview on Tuesday.
“I kept a lot of notes,” said Clinton.
McFadden followed up, asking the former secretary of state what she would do with the notes if they were requested by a House Select Committee appointed to investigate the attack — which left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
“If the committee wants your notes, would you turn those over?”
“They can read it in the book,” said Clinton, referencing her book “Hard Choices,” which was released amid much buzz on Tuesday.
The questions raised in the interview were obviously prearranged and rehearsed. At least we can now confirm that there are 'notes' or a diary, and that it will have to be subpoenaed to have any possibility of seeing the light of day. |
