**Cover-Up? Judicial Watch Sues Pentagon for Details on Afghan Withdrawal Deaths**

A shocking lack of accountability is emerging in the aftermath of the Biden administration's Afghanistan withdrawal, as Judicial Watch takes a stand against the U.S. Department of Defense over the tragic deaths of 13 American servicemen during the chaos at Kabul airport.

The FOIA lawsuit aims to uncover communications related to the Abbey Gate attack, which occurred during the last days of the U.S. military evacuation in August 2021. The service members died while the Biden administration sought to rescue civilians fleeing the Taliban, yet critical warnings about an imminent attack were allegedly ignored.


Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton stated, “For three long years, the Biden-Harris Pentagon has been unlawfully hiding records about the preventable deaths of 13 American servicemen at the infamous Abbey Gate.”

This call for transparency comes against the backdrop of a harrowing report revealing the Pentagon's disregard for security needs during the operation. The Biden administration made the controversial decision to rely on the Taliban for security at the airport, a choice rife with peril given the Taliban's known hostility towards Americans and its history of violence.

With over 690 police calls made to a Texas hotel recently shut down after being occupied by a Venezuelan gang, concerns over national security are increasingly on Americans' minds. Many are frustrated by what seems to be an administration more concerned with appeasing adversaries like the Taliban rather than protecting American lives.

The repercussions of the administration's withdrawal strategy are starkly illustrated in reports of the Taliban misappropriating U.S. humanitarian aid funds, raising serious questions about the integrity of U.S. assistance efforts in Afghanistan.

Republicans and concerned citizens alike are rightfully demanding answers. The lack of transparency from the Pentagon serves as a distressing reminder of the dangers posed by an administration that appears hesitant to take responsibility for its actions and decisions. The service members' families deserve to know the complete truth about the events surrounding Abbey Gate and the greater implications for U.S. foreign policy.

As the Biden administration continues to face scrutiny over its handling of Afghanistan, it is clear that accountability must be prioritized to restore faith in leadership and ensure the safety of American lives in all future military engagements.
