State Department to share Afghanistan dissent cable with Congress

The House Foreign Affairs Committee will be able to view the State Department's dissent channel cable on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which warned of the potential collapse of the U.S.-backed government. Chairman Michael McCaul had threatened to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt if he did not provide access to the cable. Blinken had previously rejected attempts to access the cable, but the State Department has now invited McCaul and Foreign Affairs ranking member Gregory Meeks to view it with personal information redacted.
