Missouri senator calls for creation of select committee to investigate US withdrawal

US Senator has called for the establishment of a Senate Select Committee to investigate the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan last year.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA)_Monitoring, According to an ABC-affiliated news outlet, Hawley said: “There needs to be real accountability here.”

Hawley introduced legislation to establish a 20-member committee to review intelligence, interview U.S. officials, and to hold public hearings.

“Yet the White House doesn’t want to answer any questions,” said Hawley. “They will not have hearings in public. Will not consent to it.”

Questions have continued to be raised around the chaotic troop withdrawal as the former Afghan government collapsed last August, especially as the United States left behind billions of dollars of American military hardware.
