Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and ex-CIA Director David Petraeus will be interviewed this week in a pair of closed-door sessions of the House’s Select Committee on Benghazi, the panel announced on Monday.

Petraeus will answer questions on Wednesday. Panetta, who also served as head of the CIA before taking the reins at the Pentagon, will appear before the committee on Friday.

Committee Republicans have long denied allegations that they are bent on a purely political mission to smear former Secretary of State Hilllary Clinton, rather than being motivated by a desire for the facts surrounding the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, Libya.
