WASHINGTON (AP) – A day after questioning a former top aide to presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton behind closed doors, the House committee investigating the deadly Benghazi attacks expects to question another member of Clinton’s inner circle in closed session.

A former policy director and deputy chief of staff at the State Department, Jake Sullivan, will be questioned Friday in what is expected to be a daylong session.

The panel interviewed Clinton’s former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, for 9½ hours on Thursday. Few details have been released, but knowledgeable officials say the panel asked Mills about her role in preparing “talking points” for administration officials following the 2012 attack on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya.

Four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, died in the attack.
