Hillary Clinton's exit interview with CNN

(CNN) - Outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will talk with CNN Foreign Affairs Correspondent Jill Dougherty and CNN Foreign Affairs Reporter Elise Labott on Tuesday. The wide-ranging interview will air during the 5pm ET hour of "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" on CNN.

Clinton closed out last week on Capitol Hill, testifying before House and Senate committees on the terrorist attack against the U.S. consulate in Libya and supporting her successor, Senator John Kerry, in his confirmation hearings.

Speculation continues to build for her potential 2016 run. And, a new super PAC is already gearing up to support the failed 2008 presidential candidate in the race.
