WASHINGTON _ Sen. Rand Paul wants to convince President Donald Trump to start ending the war in Afghanistan. Now.
So he's launched an all-out effort to make that happen. It began in earnest last month when the Kentucky Republican agreed to reverse himself and support Trump's choice of Mike Pompeo as secretary of state after multiple conversations convinced Paul that Trump shared his view.
Paul dispatched his Senate committee staff to the country to document what he says is "wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars" and "rampant corruption."
