The House Rules Committee may mark up a resolution on Monday that would set terms for a House vote on holding Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken in contempt for his failure to testify at a special hearing on the Biden administration’s handling of the 2021 military withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The committee listed the resolution as part of the agenda on its website. But the Republican majority’s email to reporters didn’t include it. The committee is scheduled to meet at 4 p.m.
U.S. statute makes it a misdemeanor criminal offense to fail to comply with a congressional subpoena seeking testimony or documents as part of an official congressional inquiry.
