CIA Director David Petraeus will appear before a Congressional Committee on Friday to testify about the deadly Benghazi attack that took the life of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other diplomatic officials.

Before the committee, Petraeus will discuss his trip and investigation of the attacks.

He has also agreed to appear before the Senate Select Committee on the same matter. The testimony has yet to be scheduled. He had been scheduled to speak before that committee before he submitted his resignation to President Obama. That sheduled appearance will be made in his stead by acting CIA Director Michael Morell along with National Intelligence Director James Clapper.

Congress would like to ask Petraeus if there was adequate Security at the Consulate in Libya and if any information had been concealed to his knowledge.

President Obama called the criticism by Republicans lawmakers against Susan Rice, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations “outrageous” during a press conference yesterday. She had made several comments on public affairs shows following the attack saying that the attacks at the consulate were spontanious.

When speaking to CNN Headline reporter Kyra Phillips this morning, Petraeus related that his resignation had nothing to do with the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. He also told that reporter that he had not provided any classified documents to his biographer, Paula Broadwell, with whom he had an affair. He also said n the interview that he had never tried to persuade anyone in the adminiastration to let him keep his job and felt that tendering his resignation was the appropriate response.
