CBS News' Nancy Cordes: Your DoJ OIG "reported this year that there was thorough vetting by DHS and the FBI of these Afghans who were brought into the US so why do you blame the Biden administration?" President Trump: "Because they let them in. Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?"

One question is why did Trump wait until he was president to file this lawsuit?

The Trump administration effectively says that no one should ever work with Americans during wartime; that our promises mean nothing, our word is dust, and we will throw our allies under the bus the moment we want.
In any future armed conflict, who would ever trust us again?
