After suffering a series of ailments over the past few weeks including a stomach virus, a concussion and a blood clot, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will return to work on Monday according to information received from the State Department.
Mrs. Clinton will pick up where she left off with a busy schedule this week, including White House meetings with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and national security adviser Tom Donilon. The Secretary of State will also meet with the ambassadors of Ireland and South Africa on Tuesday, and with Afghan President Hamid Karzai later in the week, according to the State Department.
Mrs. Clinton came under a barrage of attacks from Republicans, who accused her of faking her illness to avoid testifying on the tragic events in Benghazi. She will step down from her role as Secretary of State in a few weeks. Senator John Kerry is expected to be confirmed as the new Secretary of State.
