GOP threatens Blinken with contempt over Afghanistan cables.
TL;DR
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul is threatening to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt if he does not turn over diplomatic cables related to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The State Department has refused to turn over the documents, arguing it needs to maintain the integrity of the confidential channel. McCaul argues the disclosure of the cable is key to understanding the Biden administration’s policies on the withdrawal and why the exit went how it did.
