Nine current and former State Department officials have agreed to provide House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul with transcribed interviews of their roles and experiences during the final chaotic days of the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“The State Department has indicated that all requested department officials are willing to cooperate with the committee’s request, but has yet to schedule any of the interviews," McCaul said in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner."I expect these interviews [to] be scheduled without further delay. These are crucial witnesses for the committee’s investigation, and I will leave no stone unturned in getting answers for our Gold Star families, veterans, and the American people.
The nine people McCaul has sought additional information from include Ross Wilson, former U.S.
