Fox News
Retired Marine Corps. Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews, who was injured in the Abbey Gate bombing in 2021, said President Trump personally promised him "accountability."
"I was at Arlington recently… with President Trump and Vice President Vance, and I spoke to them directly, and they both promised me and these families, as they have previously, to our faces, that there would be accountability in our nation's government and elsewhere for what has happened," he said. Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.
Vargas-Andrews' friend and mentor, Ssgt. Darin "Taylor" Hoover, was one of the 13 U.S. servicemembers killed in action in the August 2021 bombing during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. He said Trump recognized Hoover's name during their discussion, adding that Trump said he knew Hoover's family very well.
