Jen Psaki Finally Caves After Subpoena Warning
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki has surrendered.
Ending months of back-and-forth, Psaki has agreed to be interviewed by the House Foreign Affairs Committee as it investigates the August 2021 U.S. exit from Afghanistan, according to Axios.
The committee’s chairman, Republican Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, has said the panel plans to publish its report on the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan before the November election.
McCaul initially contacted Psaki, now an MSNBC host, in September, but he met resistance.
Axios suggested the committee will be seeking the differences between what she was telling the American people as the spokeswoman for President Joe Biden and what the White House actually knew as Afghanistan collapsed in a matter of days,
