White House Attempts to Shift Blame to Trump Administration for Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal Amid Mounting Criticism

The Biden administration released reports detailing lessons learned from withdrawing troops from Afghanistan in 2021.
The White House claimed the Trump administration sabotaged an orderly transition of power and left Biden with few good options for leaving Afghanistan.
The reports defended Biden's decision to end the war but criticized his predecessor for constraining the conditions of American withdrawal.
Critics accused the White House of passing off accountability and disputed its characterization of the failed withdrawal that left Americans and Afghan allies behind.
Republicans in Congress vowed to fully investigate the chaotic evacuation that claimed 13 American lives in a deadly bombing.
