Secretary of State Blinken Refuses to Testify Before Congress on Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal

By a party-line vote, the Republican-majority US House Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday advanced a recommendation to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt of Congress for not testifying as part of the investigation of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The 26-25 vote makes the resolution eligible for a vote by the full House, but House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said it likely won't be considered until after the Nov. 5 presidential election.

There was disagreement over whether Blinken had sufficiently responded to the committee's request for him to appear.  Blinken in a letter said he tried to accommodate the committee and offered alternate witnesses.

TASS

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the committee's chair, accused Blinken of "ignoring countless requests for his testimony" about the 2021 withdrawal. The committee's 29-page contempt report accused Blinken of a "pattern of obstruction."

Roll Call

If Blinken is held in contempt, he would be referred to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for criminal charges. Previously, the House has voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland (the DOJ declined to prosecute him) in contempt and to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas (the Democrat-majority Senate dismissed the case).
