Multiple lawmakers from both parties "angrily stormed out" of a classified briefing on Afghanistan this week after Biden administration officials failed to answer simple questions about its ongoing evacuation efforts, CNN reported.
Citing three anonymous sources, the network said that both Republican and Democratic members of Congress "grew frustrated" after officials from the State Department, Pentagon, Department of Homeland Security, and Office of the Director of National Security "failed to answer their basic questions."
The walkout reportedly occurred during a Wednesday morning briefing for members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Though CNN did not specify the exact questioning, the report seemed to note the frustration revolved around the administration's failure to offer precise information regarding the number of American citizens who still remain in Afghanistan following the U.S. military's official withdrawal last month.
Nobody seems to know who or where are these Americans still in Afghanistan. Probably most of them have good reason to stay there. They did have quite enough time to get out, after all.
