John Bolton Suggests Hillary Clinton Faking Illness to Avoid Benghazi Testimony
State department denies claim
The State Department on Tuesday dismissed another assertion that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has faked an illness and an injury to avoid testifying this week about the Libya terror attacks – this one from former U.S. diplomat John Bolton.
Bolton said Monday that Clinton contracted "diplomatic illness" to avoid scheduled open testimony Thursday before House and Senate panels on the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
