Republicans Seek to Remind R.N.C. Viewers About Deadly Afghanistan Withdrawal
New York TimesJUL 21 2024
Jerry Dunleavy, a writer taking part in the Republican House Foreign Affairs Committee probe into the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, has resigned from the investigation, referring to the probe as a "sham" in a post on social media.
While saying that the investigation has been fruitful in some regards, Dunleavy claims that the committee has failed to have Pres. Biden and senior military and White House officials "answer for the horrors which unfolded."
Regarding 13 US service members and 170 Afghan civilians killed by an ISIS-K suicide attack in Kabul made during the withdrawal, Dunleavy accused Chairman Michael McCaul of failing to "pursue answers" in the case. Dunleavy has previously claimed that US intelligence was aware of the presence of the ISIS-K members at the hotel.
