Washington | The White House dismissed on Monday (Tuesday AEST) a new House Republican investigative report castigating President Joe Biden’s administration for the chaotic 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying that it offers “little or nothing new” and ignores critical facts.

John Kirby, a national security spokesperson for the president, took the lectern at the White House to issue a lengthy rebuttal to the report that was released earlier in the day. It came more than three years after the event and less than two months before the November election.
