CNN: Susan Rice to Testify Before House Intel Committee

Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice will answer questions in front of the House Intelligence Committee next month regarding the Russia probe.

According to CNN, the session will be closed to the media and will occur before the House's August recess.

Rice has been accused by some of improperly requesting the names of Americans caught up in surveillance reports be unmasked. Rice continues to insist she did not do anything wrong or against protocol.

Committees in the House and Senate, along with the Department of Justice, are investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and whether or not President Donald Trump's campaign had improper ties to Russians.

Rice's appearance in front of the House Intelligence Committee is part of that probe.

Many Republicans have called on Rice to testify in front of Congress about what she knows regarding unmasking. She declined an offer to appear before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee in May.
