WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is subpoenaing Secretary of State John Kerry to testify this month on the deadly 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya.
Rep. Darrell Issa of California wants Kerry to appear before the panel on May 21 about why emails released this week by a conservative watchdog were omitted from previous administration submissions to Congress.
The email from deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes shows that within days of the attack the White House embraced talking points for U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice that blamed the turmoil that erupted in North African and Middle East cities in September 2012 on an anti-Islamic video.
U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans died in the attack.

Issa recalling the SoS for yet another Benghazi shakedown is about as dysfunctional as this Congress can get. Can they possibly think they're still scoring points outside the FOX demographic? 
Your tax dollars at work!

A State Department official said that Mr. Kerry is scheduled to be in Mexico on 21 May, adding that is something Mr. Issa’s committee “would have known if they had reached out to us instead of issuing a subpoena by Tweet.”
The official said it is unclear if Mr. Kerry “is even aware of the request” and said the department is “surprised” by Mr. Issa’s subpoena, given State officials have been “cooperating all along with the committee.”

(CNN) - House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa announced Friday he has subpoenaed Secretary of State John Kerry to testify about the terror attack in Benghazi.
The California Republican called on Kerry to appear at a May 21 hearing.
Republicans have accused the Obama administration of withholding documents from Congress that were previously subpoenaed.
"The State Department's response to the congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack has shown a disturbing disregard for the department's legal obligations to Congress," Issa wrote in a letter to Kerry.
"Compliance with a subpoena for documents is not a game. Because your department is failing to meet its legal obligations, I am issuing a new subpoena to compel you to appear before the committee to answer questions about your agency's response to the congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack."
The State Department said Kerry was traveling in Africa and it was not clear if he was aware of the subpoena.
