"Ambassador Wilson had an employee fake his COVID test so he could fly back to the United States immediately," a portion of the report obtained by Axios states, citing testimony gathered by the Foreign Affairs panel. Wilson's actions come under scrutiny as he allegedly directed someone to hide a positive COVID test, violating US travel restrictions which further complicate the narrative of his responsibilities during critical times of evacuation.
McCaul also took aim at the Biden administration's overall handling of the withdrawal. The report states that as late as Aug. 14, when the Taliban surrounded Kabul, the White House still had not determined who would be eligible for evacuation or where evacuees would go. "So you can imagine the chaos that ensued because there was no plan of evacuation in place, no operation of evacuation in place at the time," McCaul said.
