It would appear that Secretary Blinken took Rep. McCaul’s threat of a DOJ referral for contempt to heart.
Blinken has finally agreed to let the GOP House Foreign Affairs Committee have access to the Afghanistan dissent cable.
Blinken has been refusing access since March.
Give It Up
McCaul stated, “I don’t take this lightly because a Secretary of State’s never been held in contempt by Congress before.
“And I think the secretary realizes that and the gravity.
“They probably prefer not to go down this route as well.
“But if they do not comply, we’re prepared to move forward next week with a markup for resolution of contempt.”
Now McCaul and the ranking Democrat on the committee will finally be able to see exactly what embassy officials were saying about the withdrawal.
The only question now is if the media will report on it or continue to ignore the story.
