She previously served as assistant secretary for consular affairs.

"Secretary Kerry takes very seriously our responsibility to the American people to be as transparent as possible and to preserve the record, as we must, of how we conduct diplomacy around the world," State Department spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday, adding that Kerry believes "we can do better."
