President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is putting together a list of United States military officers who were involved in the Biden Administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to a recent report.
Two people familiar with the plan told NBC News that Trump’s transition team is reportedly in talks about whether to establish “a commission to investigate” the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left 13 American service members dead.
The commission would reportedly also gather “information about who was directly involved in the decision-making for the military,” and how the plan “was carried out,” among other things.
“They’re taking it very seriously,” one person with the plan explained to the outlet.
NBC News reported:
Officials working on the transition are considering creating a comission to investigate the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, including gathering information about who was directly involved in the decision-making for the military, how it was carried out, and whether the military leaders could be eligible for charges as serious as treason, the U.S. official and person with knowledge of the plan said.
The report from NBC News comes months after Trump honored the 13 fallen U.S. service members during a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. In the aftermath of Trump’s visit, NPR released an article alleging that Trump campaign officials got into a “verbal and physical altercation” with a cemetery official who was trying to prevent Trump’s campaign from filming and taking photos in Section 60 of Arlington Cemetery.
Family members of the 13 fallen U.S. service members issued statements defending Trump and criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for issuing a statement describing Trump’s visit to the cemetery as a “political stunt.”
