WASHINGTON – Kansas congressman Mike Pompeo along with his house colleagues will interview former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today.

She takes center stage as the star witness in the Republican-led investigation into the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Clinton, the Democratic front-runner for president, is riding the momentum of a solid debate performance.

Meanwhile, the panel’s Republican chairman is scrambling to deflect comments by fellow Republicans that the inquiry is aimed at hurting Clinton’s presidential bid.

“Our committee still has many unanswered questions,” according to Pompeo in a social media statement. “I am confident that these conversations will help us as we continue to try to put together the facts that explain why four Americans were murdered in Benghazi.
