US Lawmaker Files Subpoena Against Blinken Over Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul announced on Tuesday that he issued another subpoena to Secretary of State Antony Blinken requesting documents related to the Biden administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 and the tragic death of 13 American service members in Kabul.

“I have repeatedly asked for documents from the Biden administration's chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal,” McCaul’s office cited him as saying.
"The department's continued refusal to produce files relating to the After-Action Review is another blatant attempt to hide the Biden administration's culpability in the chaotic and deadly evacuation from Afghanistan. I have no choice but to issue a subpoena."
The congressman has requested Blinken to provide the documents in a week or by 10:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday, July 25.
