Biden's ex-press secretary Jen Psaki to sit down with House GOP panel probing chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki has agreed to sit down with House GOP investigators probing the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, Fox News Digital has learned.

Psaki will appear for a closed-door transcribed interview with the House Foreign Affairs Committee on July 26 as part of the panel’s long-running probe into the chaotic August 2021 operation, according to a letter sent to the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, the content of which was obtained by Fox News Digital.

White House deputy counsel Rachel Cotton wrote in the letter that the committee’s request to hear from Psaki "raises serious separation-of-powers and Executive Branch confidentiality issues."

"Nevertheless, as an extraordinary accommodation, we will authorize Ms. Psaki to participate in a voluntary transcribed interview accompanied by personal counsel and the White House Counsel’s Office subject to appropriate terms and conditions for the interview," the letter said. "In order to allow the White House Counsel’s Office to assess possible Executive Branch confidentiality issues that may arise during Ms. Psaki’s interview, please provide a list of topics the Committee would like to raise with Ms. Psaki or arrange a call with the White House Counsel’s Office to discuss those topics."

Cotton went on to say the White House expects the lawmakers "to follow the longstanding practice of engaging with the White House to help us better understand the scope of the testimony sought," so they can best cooperate while remaining "consistent with Executive Branch confidentiality interests."
