Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Friday vowed to subpoena outgoing CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus if he wonât testify voluntarily about the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
Gowdy said that while he regretted the âpersonal ramificationsâ of Petraeusâ sudden resignation over an extramarital affair, it would not stop Congress from hearing from him about the assault on the consulate that left four Americans dead.
âThe fact that heâs resigned and had an affair has nothing to do with whether or not heâs gonna be subpoenaed to Congress,â Gowdy said on Fox Newsâ âOn the Record with Greta Van Susteren.â âI hope we donât have to subpoena a four-star general and the former CIA director, I hope he would come voluntarily, but if he wonât he will be subpoenaed and none of what has happened today is a defense to a subpoena.â
