**Outrage: Biden Admin Funnels Taxpayer Dollars to Taliban After Afghan Withdrawals**
A scathing new report has unveiled a troubling aspect of the Biden administration’s handling of taxpayer money, revealing nearly $2 million in payments funneled directly to the Taliban.
This shocking revelation comes from the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General, which detailed how the Biden administration authorized these funds between September 2021 and December 2024.
Despite the widespread backlash following the Taliban’s swift takeover of Afghanistan and the tragic deaths of 13 American servicemen during the chaotic withdrawal, the Biden administration defended its controversial decision.
The payments, totaling $1.8 million, were allegedly intended for routine operational expenses. These included taxes on local salaries, visa fees, and even local airline costs.
However, critics, including Rep. Michael Cloud, argue that if a private business were to send money to a terrorist organization like the Taliban, executives would face severe penalties, including decades in prison.
“There’s a glaring double standard at play here,” Cloud pointedly remarked. “When businesses are held accountable, why is there no consequence for the federal government?”
This recent revelation adds to the growing list of concerns surrounding financial assistance to Afghanistan initiated by the Biden administration since his first day in office.
In those early days, Biden ordered the military to leave behind an astonishing $7 billion worth of military equipment, effectively arming a regime that had previously terrorized its own people.
Moreover, the World Bank reported that over $2.8 billion in American taxpayer dollars has entered the country since August 2021, raising critical questions about accountability and the appropriateness of such funding.
As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: Americans deserve transparency and accountability regarding how their tax dollars are being spent—especially when it involves support for organizations with a history of violence and terrorism.
