Sunday shows preview: Gowdy explains Benghazi hearing
Lawmakers will seek to spin the marathon 11-hour Benghazi hearing with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the Sunday talk shows this week.
Several members from the House Select Committee on Benghazi will make appearances to try to shape the fallout from the testimony.
{mosads}Committee Chair Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) headlines NBC’s “Meet the Press” to deflect accusations that the investigation has become a partisan affair.
He’s followed by the ranking Democrat on the panel, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), who was quick to spar with Republicans during the contentious hearing Thursday.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who was also on the Benghazi committee, will join “Fox News Sunday” to talk about where the investigation goes from here. He will also discuss the House Freedom Caucus’s decision to support Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) bid for House Speaker.
Several presidential candidates will also make the rounds on the busy Sunday morning.
CNN’s “State of the Union” is headlined by Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, with presidential hopefuls Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) also on the program.
Here are the rest of the expected guests for the day:
ABC’s “This Week”: Trump will discuss his preparation for the upcoming Oct. 28 Republican presidential debate on CNBC. The show’s roundtable panel will feature former Democratic Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
CBS’s “Face the Nation”: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie sits down to talk about his presidential campaign and debate preparation.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), who is looking to replace Ryan as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, will also make an appearance, along with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
CNN’s “State of the Union”: A taped interview with Trump will air, followed by exclusive interviews with Sanders and Rubio to discuss their 2016 prospects.
“Fox News Sunday”: Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson headlines the program to discuss his recent jump in Iowa polls, followed by Jordan explaining his line of questioning to Clinton at the Benghazi hearing.
NBC’s “Meet the Press”: Carson will make an appearance on his second program of the week, along with Gowdy’s and Cummings’ discussion of the Benghazi hearing.
