Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee recently released a critical report about the Biden administration's handling of the chaotic exit from Afghanistan.
Washington — The Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee is expected to recommend Tuesday that Secretary of State Antony Blinken be held in contempt of Congress amid a standoff over the top diplomat's testimony about the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan .The committee's chairman, Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, subpoenaed Blinken earlier this month for his testimony, threatening to hold him in contempt if he did not appear before the panel on Sept. 19.
' Beginning next week, Congress is scheduled to be in recess through October, providing limited days for Blinken to testify unless committee members return to Washington during the break.Even if the measure advances out of the committee, the full House would still need to vote to refer it to the Justice Department for prosecution, and it's highly unlikely that Blinken would be prosecuted by the Biden administration.
