House Foreign Affairs Committee may hold Blinken in contempt for not testifying on Afghanistan withdrawal.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee, led by Rep. Michael McCaul, is considering holding Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt of Congress over his failure to testify regarding the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Blinken has expressed disappointment over the subpoena, citing scheduling conflicts due to international commitments, and proposed alternative dates for his testimony. He urges McCaul to withdraw the contempt threat and engage in good faith discussions.
