U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), a veteran of the Global War on Terrorism and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is continuing her efforts to demand transparency and accountability following the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“While other crises of the Biden administration’s making may now dominate the front page, their disastrous, haphazard, and inexcusable exit from Afghanistan—that resulted in the death of 13 servicemembers and left Americans and our allies behind enemy lines—demands Congress’ attention and scrutiny. These efforts build on my work to provide transparency and accountability surrounding the withdrawal and the Taliban’s subsequent rise to power, and will help ensure the safety of all Americans in the future,” said Senator Ernst.
