Rice to testify before Senate Intelligence committee

Controversial former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, most recently the target of accusations that members of Donald Trump's transition team referred to in classified intelligence reports were unmasked for political purposes, will appear before the House Intelligence Committee, in a closed-door session.

Rice, who previously declined to testify before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, “is cooperating with bipartisan Russia investigations conducted by the Intelligence Committees as she said she would," CNN cited Rice's spokeswoman, Erin Pelton, as saying.

Rice has denied the accusations.
