House Republicans are pursuing transcribed interviews with White House press officials to explain details needed for their investigation into the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sept. 10 that in addition to the nine diplomats the committee requested testimony from in late August it also plans to hear from former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, National Security Counsel Coordinator for Strategic Comms John Kirby, and former State Department spokesperson Ned Price.
