Blinken testifies in hostile hearing over botched Afghanistan withdrawal

Secretary of State Antony Blinken testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday to answer for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 servicemen dead.

It was a tense and at times outright hostile hearing with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle ripping into the secretary for the lack of security and botched logistical planning that kept airplanes scrambling and hundreds of desperate Americans waiting for evacuation.
