Millions of Dollars, Classified Information, and Biometric Data: Inside What the Biden-Harris...

The Biden-Harris administration abandoned $57.6 million in American funds, a "significant amount of classified information," and advanced biometric data that enabled the Taliban to hunt down nearly 500 former Afghan officials during its bungled 2021 withdrawal, according to the findings of a three-year long congressional investigation. The report, published Monday by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, provides previously unknown details about the scope of cash and sensitive information left behind when the United States left Afghanistan in a rushed evacuation that left hundreds of Americans stranded and 13 service members dead.

Because of these security failures, Taliban-controlled Afghanistan is now "a hotbed of terrorist activities." But the Biden-Harris administration has not conducted a single anti-terrorism operation in the country since 2021, suggesting the withdrawal severely hindered the military’s ability to target militants operating in the country.
