Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed reports that Americans trying to reach the airport to leave Afghanistan are being beaten and called it "unacceptable" just moments after President Joe Biden said he didn't know of any Americans being blocked.

 

"We know of no circumstance where American citizens are - carrying an American passport are trying to get through to the airport," Biden said in Friday remarks on the US' chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.

 

But Biden's claim was almost immediately refuted by his own defense secretary in a briefing with members of Congress, Politico reported.
