Austin reportedly made the claim to members of Congress on a call on Friday, which directly contradicted Joe Biden comments an hour earlier when he said there was no danger to Americans leaving the country.<\/p>\n<p>None of the military officers or administration officials on the call could say how many Americans were still in need of evacuation from Kabul. However, the Pentagon\u2019s top spokesman has taken the word of the Taliban who said they were allowing safe passage for Americans to evacuate.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Remember, the Biden Administration sent this out to Americans trapped in Afghanistan:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT CANNOT ENSURE SAFE PASSAGE TO THE HAMID KARZAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unconscionable.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
