A source tells NBC, the team is looking at the possibility of recalling several commanders to active duty for the possible charges.
The investigation stems from an attack by a suicide bomber in August 2021 that killed 13 U.S. service members outside an airport gate in Kabul.
Trump has repeatedly condemned the attack, blaming the Biden-Harris administration. He has called it “the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.”
Following the attack in Kabul, Biden responded to what was at the time vocal and bipartisan criticism by defending his troop withdrawal.
“I was not going to extend this forever war and I was not extending a forever exit,” Biden said on Aug. 31, 2021, following the attack.
A 2022 review by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) blamed both the Trump and Biden administrations for the fallout from the withdrawal.
Afghanistan withdrawal timeline
In 2020, Trump reached an agreement with the Taliban to withdraw all 13,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan. The agreement also released 5,000 Taliban fighters from prison.
The Trump administration said if the Biden administration stuck with the May 1, 2021 deadline they had signed to leave by, the Taliban wouldn’t attack American forces.
However, the Biden administration said the complete drawdown would take much longer and set a Sept. 11, 2021 deadline instead.
Biden finished the withdrawal and according to the review, it overestimated the ability of Afghan government forces to fight the Taliban on their own.

[Karah]
PRESIDENT ELECT DONALD TRUMP’S TRANSITION TEAM IS REPORTEDLY INVESTIGATING THE 20-21 U-S TROOP WITHDRAWAL IN AFGHANISTAN AND WHETHER MILITARY LEADERS COULD FACE CHARGES OVER THEIR INVOLVEMENT.
N-B-C NEWS REPORTS … TRUMP’S TEAM IS PUTTING TOGETHER A LIST OF CURRENT AND FORMER MILITARY OFFICIALS WHO HAD A HAND IN THE WITHDRAWAL AND DETERMINING IF THEY COULD BE CHARGED WITH TREASON.
IT’S NOT CLEAR WHAT WOULD LEGALLY JUSTIFY TREASON CHARGES, SINCE THE MILITARY OFFICERS WERE FOLLOWING THE ORDERS OF PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TO WITHDRAW ALL U-S FORCES.
A SOURCE TELLS N-B-C THE TEAM IS LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF RECALLING SEVERAL COMMANDERS TO ACTIVE DUTY FOR THE POSSIBLE CHARGES.
THE INVESTIGATION STEMS FROM AN ATTACK BY A SUICIDE BOMBER IN AUGUST 20-21 THAT KILLED 13 U-S SERVICE MEMBERS OUTSIDE AN AIRPORT GATE.
PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP HAS REPEATEDLY CONDEMNED THE ATTACK … BLAMING THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION … SAYING BACK IN AUGUST.
this month marks the 3 year anniversary of the most embarrassing moment in the history of the country. Kamala and crooked Joe’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan has just been horrible for all of us. 3 years ago Kamala and Biden’s incompetence left 13 dead warriors hundreds of civilians killed and wounded. And 85 billion dollars worth of the finest military equipment abandoned to the Taliban.. Right into the hands of the Taliban.
FOLLOWING THE ATTACK IN KABUL … BIDEN RESPONDED TO WHAT WAS AT THE TIME VOCAL AND BIPARTISAN CRITICISM … BY DEFENDING HIS TROOP WITHDRAWAL.
I was not going to extend this forever war, and I was not extending a forever exit. The decision to end the military airlift operations at Kabul airport was based on the unanimous recommendation of my civilian and military advisors – the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and all the service chiefs, and the commanders in the field.
We will not forget. We will hunt you down to the ends of the Earth, and we will – you will pay the ultimate price.
A 20-22 REVIEW BY THE SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL FOR AFGHANISTAN RECONSTRUCTION BLAMED BOTH THE TRUMP AND BIDEN ADMINISTRATIONS FOR THE FALLOUT FROM THE WITHDRAWAL.
TRUMP FIRST REACHED AN AGREEMENT WITH THE TALIBAN IN 20-20 TO WITHDRAW ALL 13-THOUSAND U-S TROOPS FROM AFGHANISTAN AND RELEASE 5-THOUSAND TALIBAN FIGHTERS FROM PRISON.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAID IF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION STUCK WITH THE MAY 1ST, 20-21 DEADLINE THEY HAD SIGNED TO LEAVE BY, THE TALIBAN WOULDN’T ATTACK AMERICAN FORCES.
BUT, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAID THE COMPLETE DRAWDOWN WOULD TAKE MUCH LONGER … SETTING A SEPTEMBER 11TH DEADLINE INSTEAD.
BIDEN FINISHED THE WITHDRAWAL AND ACCORDING TO THE REVIEW – IT OVERESTIMATED THE ABILITY OF AFGHAN GOVERNMENT FORCES TO FIGHT THE TALIBAN ON THEIR OWN.
TRUMP’S CHOICE FOR DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH HAS CRITICIZED THE WITHDRAWAL SAYING THE U-S WASTED BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
TRUMP’S TRANSITION TEAM HAS NOT COMMENTED ON THE REPORTED INVESTIGATION INTO MILITARY LEADERS AND THE TROOP WITHDRAWAL.
