A House Republican is calling on the State Department to allow further access to the July 2021 Dissent Channel cable on the military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) has asserted that for the State Department to fully comply with the March 28 subpoena from his committee, they must allow all committee members to access the document.
