James Comer (R-KY), sent letters to a number of government agencies requesting documentation related to the troop withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been over a year since the Biden Administration\u2019s botched Afghanistan withdrawal and the American people have not received any answers about this national security and humanitarian catastrophe. U.S. servicemen and women lost their lives, thousands of Americans were abandoned, billions of taxpayer dollars are still unaccounted for, military equipment fell into the hands of the Taliban, progress for Afghan women has stalled, and the entire region is under hostile Taliban control. Under a Republican majority, the Biden Administration\u2019s obstruction of this investigation will be met with the power of the gavel,\u201d Comer said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The Kentucky Republican refers to emails sent by Special Investigator General for Afghanistan Reconstruction John Sopko in which he defers sending information to the Oversight Committee until the department could complete its own evaluation,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) has notified this committee on multiple occasions of State\u2019s obstruction to their congressionally requested investigations of the Afghanistan withdrawal and the continued risks to humanitarian and development assistance. This lack of cooperation raises serious questions,\u201d Comer wrote. \u201cWhat does State have to hide?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Comer also included emails from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Treasury Department, accusing officials of \u201cdeferring cooperation\u201d due to \u201clack of jurisdiction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfetched.com\/former-cia-director-perfectly-fine-to-share-disinformation-to-protect-biden\/\">Former CIA Director: \u2018Perfectly Fine\u2019 to Share Disinformation to Protect Biden<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the Washington Examiner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/republicans-prepare-investigation-into-afghanistan-withdrawal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>As Republicans prepare to take control of the House next month, Comer has sent letters to the State Department, the National Security Council, the Department of Homeland Security, the Pentagon, and the USAID, requesting internal communications or any related information about the planning of the September 2021 troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Oversight Committee is particularly interested in investigating the decision to conduct airlifts out of the Hamid Karzai International Airport and to permit the Taliban to be responsible for the airport\u2019s security. Lawmakers will also investigate the lack of planning to help relocate refugees who were taken out of Afghanistan.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The investigation comes more than a year after the United States completed a full withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan, airlifting more than 12,000 people out of the country as the Taliban quickly seized control of the government. The operation has been heavily scrutinized, particularly after a suicide attack outside the Hamid airport left 13 Americans and roughly 200 Afghans dead.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The investigation is one of many House Republicans plan to pursue once they take control in January next year.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Comer and Jim Jordan officially announced an investigation into Joe Biden, alleging he was directly involved in overseas business dealings alongside his son Hunter.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfetched.com\/republicans-announce-investigation-into-joe-biden-amid-uncovered-evidence-of-defrauding-the-u-s\/\">The Daily Fetched<\/a> reported, Comer said the Biden family \u201cflourished and became millionaires by simply offering access to the family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWas Joe Biden directly involved with Hunter Biden\u2019s business deals, and is he compromised? That\u2019s our investigation,\u201d Comer said.<\/p>\n<p>Comer is the incoming chair of the House Oversight Committee, while Jordan is expected to chair the Judiciary Committee soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Republicans are reportedly laying the groundwork for an investigation into Joe Biden\u2019s deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan last year.
