Top officials in President Biden's administration are nearing a deadline this week to respond to congressional requests for documents related to the botched U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., sent letters to top officials in January requesting documents detailing the administration's handling of the withdrawal. The officials included Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin; Joint Chiefs of Staff chair Mark Milley; Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas; Secretary of State Antony Blinken; USAID administrator Samantha Power, and national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
The deadline to respond to Comer's requests is Friday, March 3.
"We are concerned that the Biden administration continues to delay long overdue transparency to the American people about the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal and evacuation," Comer wrote, along with colleagues on the Oversight Committee.
