Harris Faulkner grills Pentagon spokesman: 'Are we still relying on the Taliban?'

Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby gave no clear answer when Harris Faulkner pressed him on whether the US still relies on the Taliban to secure the release of Americans and allies in Afghanistan.

"Are we still relying on the Taliban?" she asked.

"This isn't about relying on the Taliban," Admiral Kirby told Faulkner when asked about whether American officials are still relying on the group to facilitate the departures. 

"This is about working with these aid groups and helping identify people that need to get out of Afghanistan and getting them out," he continued.
