AUSTIN As former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton faces new questions in Washington about the 2012 Benghazi consulate attack, she is coming to Texas' capital city on June 20 to discuss the "crises, choices and challenges" she faced while in office.

Officials said Thursday that Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, a former U.S. senator and possible contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, will speak at the downtown Long Center about her new book, "Hard Choices," due out June 10.

While some die-hard Clinton supporters are suggesting that the appearance could be a run-up to her expected presidential campaign, Clinton officials insist it is anything more than a book tour speech.

This week, a House committee was convened to investigate whether Clinton's State Department made miscues that cost lives when Islamic terrorists attacked the diplomatic mission in Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and diplomat Sean Smith, as Republicans have alleged.

The incident has sparked continuing controversy, and is expected to be an issue in a Clinton presidential race. GOP House leaders have complained that the State Department was not forthcoming with answers about the attack, and have pressed for months for full disclosure of information about what happened.

Discussion is ongoing about whether Clinton will appear at expected Washington hearings.

According to an announcement about the speech, Clinton will discuss "the crises, choices and challenges she faced during her four years" as secretary of state "and how these experiences drive her view of the future."
