.HouseForeignGOP Chairman RepMcCaul is threatening to subpoena SecBlinken if he doesn’t provide requested documents related to the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. McCaul wants the documents before Blinken is set to testify before Congress on Thursday.
Rep. Michael McCaul wrote a letter to Blinken on Monday, demanding he provide all requested documents detailing the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan before the secretary is set to testify before Congress on Thursday. If Blinken fails to do so, McCaul said he would issue a subpoena for the materials.“All of the items specified on March 3 could be produced extremely quickly if they were genuinely prioritized by the Department,” McCaul wrote.
McCaul initially requested information from Blinken on the withdrawal on Jan. 12, shortly after Republicans won control of the House. The Texas Republican issued a follow-up request in early March, specifically requesting three items crucial to lawmakers' investigation “that they believed the Department could easily identify and produce.”
“Over 18 months after the fall of Kabul, numerous key questions about the withdrawal remain unanswered,” McCaul wrote. “The Committee has an obligation to investigate how these grievous failures occurred and determine what actions, including potential legislation, are necessary to help prevent a similar catastrophe from occurring again in the future.”
