Congress poised to grill Biden officials on messy Afghanistan exit

The Biden administration is about to face a grilling from high-ranking Democrats in both the House and Senate over the bungled U.S. exit from Afghanistan, where the Taliban’s quick advances caught key officials off guard.

Congress could kick off its efforts to question President Biden’s team as soon as next week, when the House will briefly return from its weeks-long summer recess for a few days before heading back out of town until late September.
