Military Times | Lawmakers threaten to subpoena SECDEF over Afghanistan mistakes
Senate lawmakers suggested they may subpoena Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to testify on missteps with the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan after the top civilian leader of the military declined to appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Committee Chairman Bob Menendez, D-N.J., said he was "very disappointed" in Austin’s absence during a hearing on Afghanistan Tuesday that featured testimony from Secretary of State Antony Blinken. He did not say what reason the defense secretary gave for the decision not to appear. |
