House Republicans subpoena Blinken for diplomatic cables warning of Afghanistan collapse.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul has issued a subpoena to the State Department for a July 2021 cable from U.S. diplomats that warned of Kabul's potential collapse. The subpoena calls for the dissent cable that was written by nearly two-dozen State Department officials working in the Kabul embassy at the time, as well as Blinken's response. The State Department declined to provide the confidential cable, which McCaul said in a statement Monday has forced him to issue the subpoena.
