The House Foreign Affairs Committee voted along party lines Tuesday to advance a contempt of Congress resolution against Secretary of State Antony Blinken who failed to comply with a subpoena to testify.
The contempt resolution is the latest effort by the committee to compel Secretary Blinken’s testimony on the Biden administration’s chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal that saw the Taliban seize control of the country and 13 U.S. service members die in a terrorist attack.
The measure, approved by the committee in a 26-25 party-line vote, will now advance to the full chamber.
