An Afghan interpreter who helped with the rescue of President Joe Biden in 2008—who was then a senator—managed to leave the war-torn nation with his family, according to multiple reports.

Aman Khalili, along with his wife and four children, “safely departed Afghanistan and subsequently initiated onward travel from Pakistan,” a representative for the U.S. State Department told BBC News on Monday.
