.GOPoversight Chair JamesComer announced a hearing on the Biden administration's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan. This comes after an internal White House review tried to lay blame on the Trump administration, drawing GOP criticism.
The hearing, titled “The Biden Administration’s Disastrous Withdrawal from Afghanistan, Part I: Review by the Inspectors General,” is scheduled to be held on April 19. The committee's website said the hearing would examine the factors that led to the Afghan government's quick collapse and the administration's handling of the evacuation.
“President Biden and his administration’s decisions during the Afghanistan withdrawal led to the deaths of 13 servicemembers, left Americans completely stranded, allowed U.S. military equipment to fall into Taliban hands, jeopardized progress made by Afghan women, and destabilized the entire region," Comer said.
"This administration not only continues to provide excuses for the self-inflicted humanitarian and national security catastrophe, but senior officials are actively obstructing meaningful congressional oversight. The House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing with SIGAR as well as Inspectors General for the Department of Defense, Department of State, and U.S. Agency for International Development to examine their work on the factors that led to the collapse of Afghanistan.
"For all this talk of chaos, I didn't see it from my perch," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters last Thursday."I just don't buy the whole argument of chaos."
