GOP subpoenas Blinken for Afghanistan cables warning of collapse.

House Republicans have issued a subpoena to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, demanding he turn over a July 2021 dissent cable from US officials in Afghanistan warning of the risk of the government collapsing. The subpoena comes after a tense exchange between Blinken and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul, who views the cable as critical to understanding why the Biden administration failed to anticipate the rapid fall of the American-backed government and takeover by the Taliban. The State Department has expressed concern about undermining the confidential nature of the dissent channel.
