National security adviser will not testify at House panel: White House

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House confirmed on Monday that Ben Rhodes, the deputy national security adviser, would not testify at a House oversight panel on Iran on Tuesday.

The panel had asked Rhodes to appear after a New York Times article had suggested that he had manipulated the public debate over the Iran deal.
