Although Psaki agreed to sit down to testify, the former press secretary has conditioned her appearance on whether the White House approves her cooperation.
Psaki will appear before lawmakers on July 26 to discuss her role in the withdrawal, as committee Chairman Michael McCaul as an “authoritative source” while it was being conducted. The scheduled interview comes roughly nine months after McCaul initially requested her cooperation in September.
Although Psaki agreed to sit down to testify, the former press secretary has conditioned her appearance on whether the White House approves her cooperation, according to McCaul. As a result, the committee chairman noted that any “limitations on her appearance” would be treated as a refusal to testify.
The interview comes after “exhaustive efforts” to obtain her testimony, according to McCaul. The committee first requested her testimony in September, prompting the White House to request the committee “exhaust other means of obtaining the information relevant to our legislative interests before pursuing an interview with you.”
