Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee Moves to Hold Blinken in Contempt Over Afghanistan Testimony
Sep 24, 2024, 02:16 PM
The Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee is moving to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt of Congress. This action follows Blinken's refusal to testify about the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, despite a subpoena requiring his appearance. The committee's chairman, Rep. Michael McCaul, had expected Blinken to testify in September, but Blinken has not complied. The contempt resolution is being prepared as Blinken's public schedule shows he was available. The move underscores ongoing dissatisfaction with the Biden administration's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal.
