House Republicans are expanding their investigation of the Biden administration’s botched Afghan withdrawal, calling upon Secretary of State Antony Blinken to make dozens of officials available for interviews.
The Republicans, led by Rep. Michael McCaul, the ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said they were requesting the transcribed interviews “because recent briefings by State Department officials have been cursory exercises that mystify as much as they illuminate, with relevant actors often declining to answer questions directly, deferring to other colleagues or agencies, or claiming not to have relevant information at their immediate disposal and then offering to ‘follow up’ with answers that never seem to arrive.”
