The House Foreign Affairs Committee will move forward with a resolution to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt of Congress after the top Biden administration official failed to comply with a subpoena to testify on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. 

The committee will meet for a full markup on the resolution next week, after which the panel is likely to decide whether to advance the contempt charges to the full House for a vote. Committee members will meet on Sept. 19 at 2 p.m., according to committee Chairman Mike McCaul (R-TX).
