Karine Jean-Pierre Can’t Say Why Afghan Refugees Evacuated to U.S. Weren’t More ‘Thoroughly Vetted’

‘I would refer you to the DHS comments on this’

EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: “No, it’s not different than what we have said. That very report did not take into account the key steps in that rigorous — you heard from us, rigorous and multi-layered screening and vetting process the U.S. government took before at-risk Afghans were permitted to come to the U.S. Again, I would — I would refer you to the DHS comments on this. It did not take into full account what the other agencies are involved in making sure that this multi-layered process and screening process — it is a multi-agency effort and it did not — this particular report did not include that.”
