Patel said the suspect was in the US “for one reason and one reason alone – because of the disastrous withdrawal (from Afghanistan) by the Biden administration and the failure to vet this individual and countless others”.

So when do public officials get punishment for lying to the public? I know they don’t, but I can still dream.
