The Hill: GOP asks watchdog to investigate State Dept. video edit
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.) on Friday called for the State Department's inspector general to investigate the deletion of a part of a 2013 press briefing that addressed the Iran nuclear deal.
State admitted Wednesday that someone in the agency's public affairs bureau had ordered a video technician to edit out an eight-minute portion of the Dec. 2, 2013, briefing where a Fox News reporter asked the press secretary whether her predecessor lied about when secret talks with Iran began.
Then-press secretary Jen Psaki did not confirm when the talks started, but said, "I think there are times when diplomacy needs privacy in order to progress."
State officials first asserted the deletion was a "glitch" before admitting it was a deliberate omission. They also say they don't know who made the request or why, and that the Department has hit a "dead end" in trying to figure out.
