New Hawley Bill to Strengthen Afghan Vetting Procedures, Declassify Afghanistan Withdrawal Intel – Josh Hawley

Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced theAfghanistan Vetting and Accountability Act,a bill to strengthen vetting procedures for Afghans who were evacuated to the United States following Joe Bidens botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Senator Hawleys bill would implement careful and appropriate vetting standards for evacuees and declassify intelligence related to the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan.

Senator Hawley said, "Nearly seven months after the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, there has been zero accountability. Now we know that the vetting process for evacuees was rushed and careless. My bill would implement strong new vetting procedures, declassify intelligence related to the withdrawal, and take steps to ensure public transparency and accountability for a disaster that claimed the lives of 13 American service members."

APentagon Inspector General reportreleased last month revealed numerous failures in the Biden administrations vetting process, including at least 50 evacuees with significant security concerns who were allowed to enter the U.S.
