The Biden administration said it has evacuated nearly 500 U.S. citizens from Afghanistan since the U.S.'s chaotic withdrawal on Aug. 31. The numbers are drastically higher than the estimates President Biden gave regarding the number of Americans left behind in Afghanistan after U.S. forces left the country.
Judicial Watch is fighting for records on the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, and its “indirect” funding of the Taliban, a series of events which Fitton describes as “the most humiliating defeat in the history of the United States of America.”
"No one will ever forget the images of Afghanis falling from and clinging to our military aircraft,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Adding to the Afghan scandal, photos and video of this catastrophe are now being hidden, contrary to the law, from the American people.”
Records show Special Inspector General for Afghanistan John Sopko’s opposition to the Biden administration’s order to remove Internet access to hundreds of pages of public reports. “These extraordinary emails document a cover-up and unprecedented government censorship to protect Joe Biden and his administration from further humiliation over its surrender in Afghanistan,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
