Gowdy: Benghazi Interviews Will Be in Private After Grandstanding Over Clinton

The upcoming interviews by the Benghazi Select Committee will be held in private following the daylong televised testimony by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the committee's chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, said Sunday.

"I can just tell you of the 50-some-odd interviews we have done thus far, the vast majority have been private and you don't see the bickering among the members of congress in private interviews," Gowdy told "Meet the Press"  host Chuck Todd. "The private ones produce better results."

Clinton herself requested the public interview, Gowdy said, which was her right.

"I can just tell you in the private interviews there is never any of what you saw Thursday," he said. "It is one hour on the Republican side, one hour on the Democrat side which is why you're going to see the next two dozen interviews done privately."
