Subscribe to RSSSecretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was released last night from the hospital after being treated for a blood clot, is looking forward to coming back to work next week, spokesperson Victoria Nuland said today.
"Some of the senior staff who spoke to her about half an hour ago say that she's sounding terrific, upbeat, raring to go. She's looking forward to getting back to the office. She is very much planning to do so next week, and we'll have further precise details about that as she continues to make progress," Nuland said.

Nuland said Clinton's family has been with her at home, but didn't have any other details about visitors to share. Nuland said she didn't have any new details on the medical side of things, but instead referenced a previous statement by Clinton's doctors advising against international travel.
"It sounds as if the doctors' preference is that she not make any international trips for a little while," she said.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been released from a New York City hospital where she was receiving treatment for a blood clot near her brain. Doctors say they expect her to make a complete recovery. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
Nuland called the number of messages from international leaders wishing Clinton well a "tsunami." Nuland didn't have any calls to international leaders to read out, but said she is sure Clinton will be back on the phone with her counterparts soon.
Clinton has said she is committed to testify on the Hill regarding Benghazi, but Nuland didn't have a date to announce. "We are working with the committees on an appropriate set of dates," she said.
Nuland was also asked about Clinton's likely successor. She didn't have an update on when Sen. John Kerry's confirmation hearing would be held, but said the State Department is also working on that date.
"We are also working with the Hill on an appropriate date for the hearing. It goes to the calendar of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which hasn't yet been set," Nuland said.

Hardlygayvet-SOS, different day. You are just a rehasher. Sofa King stupid.
Ha ha! William Reno calling someone a rehasher!
What a buffoon!
Blah!blah!blah!! Hillary needs to stand up and tell the truth if she had a part in this mess so we can put an end to it and move forward as all this back and forth is a total waste of time.......We, the people need to know the truth. Sounds like Hillary needs to just RETIRE and go grow older with Bill so we can bring in NEW people to represent us without all this nonsense. Hillary has toured the world even when she will First lady so how many more countries does she want to visit for FREE getting the royal treatment? Its time to retire the Clinton's allowing the USA to move forward.....lets hope her goal is not to run for President as we already had a Clinton in office who disgraced his position.....
Marthe...
Where has the SOS stated or acted as though she would avoid appearing in frint of Congress?
Why should she retire?
Why don't YOU just stand up and tell the truth instead of posting empty attacks on te SOS.
One wonders if returning to work will include her testimony on Benghazi on Capitol Hill. I suspect that some complication related to her recent "illness" will make that impossible because of the significant lapses in memory associated with said illness. What do you want to bet.........................if there is any testimony given by Ms. Clinton to Congress, it will be replete with "I can't remember" lines.
Ron Adolphe...
Her requested testimony on Capitol Hill is up to Congress.
And how wonderful it is that you have the gift of knowing the future. Awesome!
I can feel all the hate the Rightwing Faux News dolts are emitting from their tiny lobes. Are you a Christian? If you are your the worst examples of Christians on earth. Hell is your destiny. No big surprise here. Can't wait until 2016 when the Clintons return to the White House! You Rightwingers heads will explode! Let the hatred begin! Soon your hate monger champion Rush will be on,giving you your marching orders on who too hate. You know Rush the convicted drugee,who was a sniveling yellow coward draft dodger!
Waiting for some Rightwing dolt to bring up Vince Foster.You Rightwingers are such a sorry lot indeed,a dying breed.
Maybe Newt can run against Hillary in 2016,and have Sarah You Betcha Palin as his running mate. What a freak show that would be! The Palin white trash family will be on parade again with at least two unwed Palin daughters on stage yelling family values! You betcha!
TONYWAREVET...
I just can't see Newt running, period. It is amusing having him around, however.
Tonywarvet-are your 16 and 10 yr old daughters sluts or are they married already? stfu
