Rep Issa suggests House GOP could tie funding to demand for answers over chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal
Fox News
A top House Republican is suggesting appropriations funding could be tied to requests for more information about the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Issa, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, spoke to Fox after the committee heard testimony from Gold Star families about their anger at the decisions made by the administration in connection to the suicide attack in Aug. 2021 at Kabul Airport amid a chaotic withdrawal from the country. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

Relatives have accused the administration of mismanaging the withdrawal and of failing to provide complete information to them. The bombing killed 13 U.S. service members, and families had marked the second anniversary of it this week. Issa, who has organized events so that the families can share their stories, paid tribute to those killed in the attack and their relatives who spoke at the event.
