TL;DR

The State Department will allow the House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman and Ranking Member to view a dissent cable on the withdrawal from Afghanistan, ahead of a planned resolution to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt of Congress. The move comes after Chairman Michael McCaul subpoenaed the classified cable in March. The State Department had previously argued that the need to protect the "integrity" of the dissent channel prevented them from offering a private review of the cable.
