The House Foreign Affairs Committee has been trying to get a classified cable from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the State Department for months. The cable reportedly warned that Kabul could collapse soon after the August 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Biden team doesn’t want to turn that over because the position has been that no one told Joe Biden that could happen. So the cable would reveal yet another potential Biden lie right as he’s trying to run for re-election.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul (R-TX) said that Blinken and the State Department have failed to comply with their multiple requests to turn over the information since March. In a letter that he released on Monday, he demanded that the State Department provide an unredacted version of the cable and their official response by Thursday, May 11, or Blinken would face contempt charges.
