Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas), who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, reviewed a State Department cable this week that the administration had refused to release for months. The document details the concerns of diplomats at the U.S. embassy in Kabul ahead of President Joe Biden’s disastrous exit from the country.

“The dissenters were absolutely right about everything they said, and it was a warning to the administration about what was going to happen and what they needed to do,” McCaul told Punchbowl News. “Unfortunately, the administration didn’t heed all their warnings and we got what we got,” McCaul said.
