Rep. Perry questions if Biden is concealing information regarding Afghanistan withdrawal from Newsmax

Discussing the United States’ problematic exit from Afghanistan, Scott Perry, R-Pa., a member of the House Foreign Affairs and Oversight Committees, suggested that the State Department may be concealing certain details of the operation during an interview with Newsmax.

Perry stated on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren” that it is Congress’s responsibility to conduct oversight and questioned why gratitude should be given to the Biden administration for providing requested witnesses.

During the conversation, Perry referenced former Foreign Service officer Samuel Aronson’s testimony to Congress on Sept. 15, 2023, detailing Aronson’s experience in Kabul on the final day of the withdrawal on Aug. 26, 2021.

Aronson described the selection process for evacuating volunteers as “random or ad hoc” and suggested that “consular chiefs sent individuals out of their respective countries because they were a burden to those consular sections.”

He added, “In my perspective, they did not send their best. In fact, they may have sent their worst,” in an interview that was later publicly released on April 1.

Perry questioned the seriousness of the situation, given the administration’s willingness to provide Aronson as a witness, asking, “What are the things that the State Department is not telling us?”
