The House’s No. 2 Democrat says his party hasn’t ruled out participating in a Republican-created panel to investigate the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, but only if Speaker John Boehner meets several Democratic demands.

“We’re trying to see whether the speaker is prepared to assure us that in fact, if we participate, it will be fair,” Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland told reporters Tuesday. “My view is, if it’s fair then we ought to participate.”
