Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki has agreed to an interview with the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan after almost a year of back and forth.
Psaki, now an MSNBC host, has agreed to the sitdown sometime this month with the committee, according to a letter from her lawyers obtained by. The interview will happen before Chairman Michael McCaul releases a report on the operation, which will be sometime before the election in November. Originally, the Trump administration set a deadline of May 2021 to pull all troops out of Afghanistan, but President Joe Biden delayed the deadline to Sept. 11, 2021. By mid-August, the operation was expedited and the Taliban took over control of the government. In Aug. 26, there was a suicide bombing at the Hamid Karzai International Airport, where people were being airlifted out of the country, that killed 13 American soldiers and 170 Afghan citizens.
The Foreign Affairs Committee has been probing the details of the operation, including if there were differences between what was being said behind the scenes and what was being told to the public. As press secretary, Psaki was in charge of communicating what was happening inside the administration to the public. McCaul first asked for an interview in May, and she has now agreed, after multiple letters from the chairman, to come in for an interview July 26.
