Issa slams ‘betrayal’ as State Dept admits number of Americans still in Afghanistan higher than prior claims
Fox News
The State Department on Friday conceded that there are significantly more Americans trapped in Afghanistan than previously known -- leading to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., to accuse the administration of a “betrayal” of Americans abroad.
That 363 number is significantly higher than previous estimates by the Biden administration, which had put the number at around 100 in September -- and is only the number with whom the State Dept. is in contact. CNN first reported the 363 figure.
It comes amid continuing fallout from the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan ahead of the Aug 31 withdrawal deadline -- which saw a scramble of Americans and Afghans trying to get out of the country before the Taliban took over.
