Published May 22, 2024 8:49am ET



Former White House press secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki could face a subpoena from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over a false claim she made about President Joe Biden in her book. 

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) is considering issuing Psaki a subpoena if she does not schedule an interview with the committee for its investigation into the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to a letter confirmed to the Washington Examiner by the committee’s spokesperson. This renewed call comes after Psaki included a falsehood in her book about Biden’s behavior at a ceremony for U.S. soldiers killed during the withdrawal.
