The team of the newly elected president is investigating the possibility of accusing the military of making the decision of treason.
US President-elect Donald Trump’s team is preparing for court a list of current and former senior officials involved in the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. NBC News reported this on Sunday, November 17, citing sources.
It was noted that Trump considered the possibility of creating a commission to investigate the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan in 2021, including collecting information about who was directly involved in decision-making.
The Trump team is also exploring the possibility of filing charges against the military involved in these decisions, including charges of treason. According to one of the channel’s sources, “they are taking this issue very seriously.”
However, it is not clear what could legally support the “treason” charges as officials carry out President Joe Biden’s order to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan.
“The sources that appear to be driving this story are basically self-interested Washington, DC, insiders looking for better positions for their own administrative positions,” said a person with knowledge of the matter. development.
Trump’s transition team plans to recall several commanders to face possible charges, he said.
The publication wrote that Trump condemned the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and called it “the most shameful day in the history of the country.”
In the past, the Biden administration blamed his predecessor Donald Trump for the rapid withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in 2021. Biden was “severely limited” by his predecessor’s decisions, the American administration emphasized.
