Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director David H. Petraeus will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Nov. 15. After resigning from the CIA last week over revelations of an extramarital affair, Petraeus deputy Mike Morell had been slated to testify in Gen. Petraeus’s place. The timing of Gen. Petraeus’s resignation — after the election and before his scheduled testimony on the Benghazi attacks — ignited speculation that the Obama administration was seeking to silence the director. Gen. Petraeus was one of the Obama administration officials who said after the attacks that they were a spontaneous reaction to a YouTube clip.
