If Republicans take a majority in the House of Representatives, the party will likely launch investigations into the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The Taliban took over Afghanistan in August 2021 as the United States began evacuating citizens and military assets.
If the Republicans win the House, they will have the power to subpoena members of Biden's national security apparatus and probe Biden's administration. In August, Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee threatened to subpoena officials in the State Department if they did regain a majority. GOP members on the committee around that time released a report that claimed Biden officials misled the American public about the consequences of a quick withdrawal. "They want Afghanistan to go away. You see this with their own internal reviews.
The report stated Republicans plan to subpoena the State Department for any documents and notes regarding agreements officials made with the Taliban during the evacuation of U.S. citizens from Kabul. President Biden would face investigations into the Afghanistan withdrawal if Republicans win the House.
