US House Republican report blasts Biden over chaotic Afghan withdrawal

US House of Representatives Republicans will release a long-awaited report on Monday blasting Democratic President Joe Biden's administration for failures surrounding the chaotic and deadly US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.

The report contends that the administration made its decision to evacuate noncombatants far too late, formally ordering it only on Aug 16, failed to communicate between departments in Washington and among officials in Afghanistan, and botched the paperwork for the departure of Afghan civilians eligible to leave the country.
