Menendez said that his panel would hold a hearing on US policies towards Afghanistan. This will also include agreements between Former President Donald Trump’s government and the Taliban and President Biden’s government’s withdrawal performance. Committee Republicans announced they wanted Secretary of State Antony Blinken to testify” to know why the state department was not prepared for the chances opening before us,” a letter sent to Menendez said.

“Updates from the State Department have been irregular, lacked necessary details, and not be active to the members and people of America,” the Republicans wrote in the letter. Senator Mark Warner, Democratic Intelligence Committee Chairman, said that he wanted to work with other committees “to ask difficult but necessary questions” about why the United States was not prepared for the failure of the Afghan government. “The security and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan could have been avoided if you had done any preparation,” the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee wrote in a letter to the White House.
