Cory Mills, R-Fla., on upcoming House hearings on the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal and the need to defend America’s bordersfor his handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan – arguing the president placed"political optics" over military strategy in the chaotic final months of America's longest war.
Cory Mills and members of the team he helped assemble to evacuate an American family from Afghanistan.
