Secretary of State Antony Blinken becomes third Biden official to be held in contempt of Congress
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Secretary of State Antony Blinken was held in contempt of Congress by the House Foreign Affairs Committee for skirting a public hearing on the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
He is the third Biden administration official to be formally reprimanded by Congress.
In June, Attorney General Merrick Garland was held in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over Joe Biden audio tapes where he appeared 'elderly.' The Justice Department refused to prosecute its leader, ending the proceedings.
And earlier this year, the House approved two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the southern border crisis, which the Senate dismissed.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee has sought to bring in the chief diplomat following his handling of the military and civilian disaster killing 13 U.S. troops and hundreds of Afghans that has been compared to the fall of Saigon during the Vietnam war.
Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, led the rebuke of Blinken after the agency has 'mischaracterized the accommodations' he gave the secretary, who 'ignored the committee for months.'
The chairman called Blinken's testimony a 'vital component' to his investigation into the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal and the department's 'shortcomings during that period.'
Blinken is currently in New York City attending meetings connected to the U.N. General Assembly.
