Trump Team Mulls Treason Charges Against Officers in Afghanistan Withdrawal: NBC Exclusive
Nov 17, 2024, 12:43 PM
The Trump transition team is reportedly compiling a list of current and former U.S. military officers who were directly involved in the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to an exclusive report by NBC News. The team is exploring whether these officers could be court-martialed for their involvement, with charges as serious as treason being considered for some. The effort includes plans to launch a commission to investigate the withdrawal, aiming to uncover who was involved in the military's decision-making processes during the event. Trump previously called the withdrawal a "humiliation," and officials from the current administration, the Pentagon, and former officials may face scrutiny as part of this initiative.
