The Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives has invited the Secretary of State by Antony Blinken hearing next week. Tuesday’s hearing concerns the tumultuous US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
For years, the Republican-led Foreign Affairs Committee has been investigating the deadly and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, which has become a political bone of contention.
Blinken has already testified about the events in Afghanistan in front of Congress 14 times, and the State Department has delivered almost 20,000 pages of minutes and high-level reports to the Foreign Affairs Committee, the State Department said earlier in September.
