Washington -- Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to return to the White House today for a private lunch with President Barack Obama in a meeting that will be closed to the press.

It will be Clinton's second meeting with Obama at the White House since she stepped down as secretary of state on Feb. 1. White House officials said Sunday the lunch will be in the president's private dining room, but offered no other details about the meeting.

The meeting follows the White House announcement Sunday that Israeli-Palestinian peace talks will resume after a stalemate that lasted for years. It was not clear if Clinton has been invited to provide advice on the issue.

Clinton is the subject of speculation about a potential campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. News of the lunch followed an announcement by the NBC television network Saturday that it will air a miniseries on Clinton before the 2016 presidential election.

NBC said the four-hour miniseries "Hillary" will star Diane Lane as the former first lady, U.S. senator from New York and U.S. secretary of state.
