(Fox) The Pentagon Office of Inspector General (OIG) will review a whistleblower’s allegations that hundreds of Afghan evacuees entered the U.S. despite their appearance on a Pentagon watchlist — and claims that officials did not follow correct procedures.
In a letter to Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., acting Inspector General Sean O’Donnell says his office will conduct a review next fiscal year about allegations “that hundreds of Afghan evacuees were allowed to enter the United States despite appearing on the DoD’s Biometrically Enabled Watchlist, and that officials at the National Security Council and DoD did not follow proper procedures when processing evacuees in Afghanistan and at staging bases.”
