House Republicans Expand Investigation Into Afghanistan Withdrawal

U.S. President-elect Joe Biden announces members of his administration in Wilmington, Delaware

House Republicans are intensifying their investigation into the Biden administration's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. servicemembers in a suicide bombing at Kabul Airport over three years ago. Michael McCaul, chair of the House Foreign Relations Committee, is set to release a report on their findings tomorrow.

The GOP's focus on this issue stems from the belief that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan had far-reaching consequences globally. The aftermath of the withdrawal saw a series of events unfold, starting with Putin's invasion of Ukraine just two months after the fall of Afghanistan. This was followed by an alliance between Chairman Xi, Putin, and the Ayatollah, posing threats in the Pacific and the Middle East.
