McCaul Threatens Blinken with Contempt Over Afghanistan Documents

The House Foreign Affairs Committee demands key documents for its investigation into the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, setting a March 6 deadline.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul threatens to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt of Congress over withheld Afghanistan withdrawal documents.
McCaul accuses the State Department of failing to provide key documents for the committee's investigation into the U.S.'s withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
The documents in question include interview notes used in the State Department’s After-Action Review, which found significant failures in the withdrawal process.
McCaul sets a deadline of March 6 for Blinken to hand over the requested documents, warning of contempt proceedings if not complied with.
The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between Congress and the State Department over access to information related to the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.
