• U.S. Rep. James Comer, the incoming chair of the House Oversight Committee, pledged to hold the Biden Administration “accountable” for the “catastrophic” withdrawal in 2021.
• The withdrawal left 13 U.S. service members dead, billions of dollars of military equipment behind, and plunged Afghanistan into chaos as the Taliban quickly took power.
• Comer: “It has been over a year since the Biden Administration’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal and the American people have not received any answers about this national security and humanitarian catastrophe. … We owe it to the American people to provide answers, transparency, and accountability.”
