Kerry is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
(CNN) — Senate Foreign Relations Committee John Kerry expects a "fair and expeditious" hearing for the nomination of Hillary Clinton to secretary of state, a Kerry spokesman told CNN. Frederick Jones, director of communications for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the financial information disclosed by Clinton and her husband has not highlighted any problems, though there are some areas where "additional clarification is needed." Jones said he expected the committee's senators will have "plenty of questions" about the former president's international activities and the list of donors to his foundation. The hearing is only expected to last one day, with the full Senate vote possible before President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration next week. Filed under: Hillary Clinton |
