Secretary of State Antony Blinken has shown no signs of complying with the Wednesday deadline for a congressional subpoena to supply documents relating to President Biden’s<\/a> withdrawal from Afghanistan, Republican lawmakers say.<\/p>\n

Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Texas, subpoenaed the State Department to supply a dissent cable from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, a document that would have contained any concerns about Biden’s withdrawal plans from officials on the ground in Afghanistan. The State Department offered to give McCaul and other lawmakers a briefing on the document, but have so far refused to provide the document itself.<\/p>\n

“If [Blinken] doesn\u2019t comply with the subpoena, then it takes it into litigation,” McCaul told Punchbowl News on Tuesday. “Honestly, I think they\u2019re trying to stonewall this until the end of this Congress.”<\/p>\n

The State Department’s<\/a> refusal to cooperate with the subpoena comes as the House Oversight Committee will begin its own set of hearings on the Afghanistan withdrawal Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Blinken stated at a hearing in March that the State Department will never release the dissent cable, arguing that doing so would risk the authenticity of future cables.<\/p>\n

“It is vital to me that we preserve the integrity of that process and of that channel, that we not take any steps that could have a chilling effect on the willingness of others to come forward in the future, to express dissenting views on the policies that are being pursued,” Blinken testified at the time.<\/p>\n

McCaul says he has countered with offers to only view the document in a classified setting, but to no avail.<\/p>\n

“Why are they so adamant about not providing these cables even in a classified setting, which I agreed to do?” McCaul asked after filing the subpoena in March. “That raises my suspicion.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan<\/a> was chaotic and deadly, despite Biden’s vows that the operation would be safe and orderly. Thirteen U.S. service members were killed in a suicide bombing while protecting evacuation efforts at the Kabul airport.<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of Afghan allies were stranded in the country when the U.S. military<\/a> withdrew, and many Americans were left behind as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
