Obama, Clinton to Give Joint TV Interview
U.S. President Barack Obama and outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will sit down Friday for a joint television interview, U.S. broadcaster CBS announced.
The interview will be aired Sunday evening on the "60 Minutes" show, the channel said.
Clinton, the top U.S. diplomat during Obama's first term, is soon expected to be replaced by Senator John Kerry who faces a congressional confirmation vote Tuesday and completed a hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday.
The 65-year-old Clinton has not given any concrete details on her future plans amid speculation that she may run for president in 2016.
Clinton, who was first lady between 1993 and 2001, lost a bid to secure the Democratic nomination during the 2008 race for the White House and was offered the prestigious State Department post in the wake of Obama's historic win.
Obama very rarely sits down for joint interviews with anyone other than his wife, Michelle. An exception was one he gave with former French president Nicolas Sarkozy in November 2011 on the sidelines of a G20 summit in Cannes.
