Secretary of State Antony Blinken will finally appear before the House Foreign Affairs Committee to testify on America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, the latest step in the committee’s dance with the secretary after it threatened to hold him in contempt of Congress.

After months of requests and a looming contempt vote, Antony Blinken agreed to testify in front of the GOP controlled House under threat of contempt vote.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has agreed to testify publicly at a House of Representatives committee hearing on the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, the panel said on Tuesday, after a long dispute with the Republican-led committee.

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the outgoing chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to testify before the committee about the Biden administration’s withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
