Republicans are asking why the Biden Administration is allegedly attempting to obstruct the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction's investigation into the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
Separately, the FBI is reported to have raided the home of an ABC News investigative producer, James Meek who was reportedly working on an investigation about the botched US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
On June 22, 2022, SIGAR notified the Committee that the Biden Administration is actively obstructing work and failing to produce required information necessary to completing reports the Committee requested.
The Biden Administration's obstruction of your investigations is unprecedented, matching the unprecedented Afghanistan withdrawal.
Oversight Committee Republicans are continuing to conduct oversight over the United States' botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Since the Biden Administration's botched Afghanistan withdrawal-which is in desperate need of oversight- State and USAID have denied travel, delayed, obstructed, and even questioned SIGAR's jurisdictional authority.
If the Biden Administration does not begin cooperation with SIGAR's requests, SIGAR will not be able to provide Congress with its independent, whole-of-government assessment of U.S. engagements in Afghanistan.
