The House Foreign Affairs Committee has issued a subpoena for Secretary of State Antony Blinken to testify later this month regarding the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. The hearing, scheduled for September 19, aims to address the Department of State's role in the Afghanistan withdrawal and the non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) in August.
Republican Chairman Michael McCaul, who has been critical of the Biden administration's handling of the withdrawal, emphasized the importance of accountability in the upcoming hearing. McCaul's committee is set to release a report on September 9 detailing the findings of its three-year investigation into the Afghanistan withdrawal.
