Rep. Elijah Cummings said that Clinton agreed to testify before the committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attack in December after he contacted her months earlier.

"The chairman asked me back in September to inquire as to whether Secretary Clinton would testify," Cummings said. "She immediately said she would and that she wanted to come in December, but if December did not work, she would come in January. She said I'll do it, period. The fact is she was very clear. She did not hesitate for one second."
The U.S. consulate in Libya was attacked on Sept. 11, 2012. Four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, were killed. Initially, the attack was thought to be perpetrated by an angry mob responding to a video made in the U.S. which mocked Islam and the Prophet Mohammed, but was later determined to be a terrorist attack.
Nick Merrill, the former first lady's spokesman, declined to go into detail about why Clinton agreed to testify and when she might do so.
"I'm going to leave it to the committee to address their plans," said Merrill.
In the past, Cummings has publicly resisted calling Clinton to testify before the committee. The Maryland congressman said in December that he agrees with other Democrats who say they don't see why she should be called.
Cummings' comments on Tuesday, however, revealed the clearest indication to date that Clinton was willing to show up before the committee, though many details remain to be agreed upon and the appearance could well never happen.
While touring the country selling her new memoir in June 2014, Clinton was asked whether she would be willing to testify before the House committee.
"We'll see," she told NBC in an interview. "I'm not going to prejudge it."

Mitt Romney spoke about poverty in a speech in the nations poorest state this evening -- while directly taking aim at Hillary Clinton, saying she cluelessly pressed a reset button for Russia.
Romney addressed students at Mississippi State University, and in excerpts provided to ABC News today before the speech by an aide, Romney outlined an early line of attack he may employ if he again runs for president.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cluelessly pressed a reset button for Russia, which smiled and then invaded Ukraine, a sovereign nation, Romney said. The Middle East and much of North Africa is in chaos. China grows more assertive and builds a navy that will be larger than ours in five years. We shrink our nuclear capabilities as Russia upgrades theirs.
According to reporters who attended the speech, Romney joked about his wealth while also getting in a jab at Clinton, saying, "I'm not even thinking about the speaking fees I can earn...As you no doubt heard, I'm already rich."
He also acknowledged he is considering a third presidential run, saying, You may have heard that Im thinking of running for president again.
Romney described three issues the nation needs to improve, likely topics he would build his campaign on, including the need to help make the world a safer place, the need to restore opportunity, particularly for the middle class" and the need to lift people out of poverty.
In what looks like an early attack against Clinton, trying to align her with President Obama, Romney asked, How can Secretary Clinton provide opportunity for all if she doesn't know where jobs come from in the first place?
Romney then jabbed the president, asking how he expects to make America the best place on earth for businesses, as he promised in his State of the Union address if there are high business taxes, regulations that favor the biggest banks and crush the small ones, as well as a complex and burdensome health care plan, an attack he tried to employ in his last campaign unsuccessfully.
The presidents health care plan was repeatedly compared to Romneys health care plan in Massachusetts, something he denied, but an issue that will likely come up again by GOP opponents in a future campaign.
Romney added the country needs a president who will do what it takes to bring more good paying jobs to the placement offices of our college campuses.
