Secretary of State John Kerry returns to Capitol Hill this coming week for a tough grilling on Russia's intervention in Syria and what the Obama administration is doing about it.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is scheduled to hear from Kerry in a closed session Oct. 27 about the administration's response in the Syrian conflict. The briefing comes amid growing Republican anger over the administration's failure to prevent Russian airstrikes against US-backed rebels and follows a subpoena threat from Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn.
