The Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee has released findings from its three-year probe into the United States’ chaotic August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, and Democrat committee members have issued their own minority staff memorandum on the investigation.

The committee’s report places responsibility for events leading up to the Aug. 26, 2021, Abbey Gate bombing—which left more than 180 dead, including 13 U.S. service members—on President Joe Biden and his White House advisers.
