An admiral for the U.S. Navy claimed "high-profile" requests, including one from first lady Jill Biden, caused disruption to overall Afghanistan evacuation efforts last year.
Rear Adm. Peter Vasely, who serves as a special assistant to the Director of the Navy Staff, said incessant calls for help during the efforts to get Americans out of the now-Taliban-controlled country caused a "distraction" and "created competition for already stressed resources."
Vasley's remarks, stemming from a late September interview, came in a story by the Washington Post, which obtained a 2,000-page report from the probe of the 17-day operation out of Kabul.
"That’s accurate," Vasley said when asked in sworn testimony for the report whether Pope Francis and First Lady Jill Biden intervened in evacuation efforts to request help on behalf of others.
"I was being contacted by representatives from the Holy See to assist the Italian military contingent … in getting through groups … of special interest to the Vatican," he said. "That is just one of many examples."
"I cannot stress enough how these high-profile requests ate up bandwidth and created competition for already stressed resources," Vasley added.
Vasley, overwhelmed with phone calls, text messages and emails at the time at the U.S. operations center at Kabul’s international airport, told investigators he established a "coordination cell" to help handle the high volume of communication from Washington and elsewhere.
"But you had everyone from the White House down with a new flavor of the day for prioritization," Vasely told investigators for the report.
That declassified report, which featured dozens of interviews with military officials, was rejected by President Biden during an interview with NBC News released Thursday night.

Maybe she should have talked to Diaper Joe about fricking things up.
And they have yet to acknowledge the actual total of Americans STILL left in Afghanistan due to their idiotic and moronic blundering.......
She insisted that cookies be flown in for the troops.
Two imposters with influence, a fake doc and a fake pope, able to manipulate chaos to suit their wants...
Vile people, both of them.
Gosh…..what a surprise.
They probably did as he described, but a couple of special rescue requests from the Pope and FL are not what led to our leaving $85B of advanced military equipment to the Chinese and the Islamists.
That took a much larger intentional policy and hiding behind the Pope and FL’s skirts on this is embarrassing and shameful.
Not surprising, that greedy power hungry Bitch dr. jill is the reason we have a drooling dolt in the White House, any real wife would have taken him private and shielded him and his illness from the public.
Screw The Pentagon! They gummed up the best President in history!
Dr. Babysitter...
With the Dummycrats, the wife is supposed to be “free”. We elect him and get some unelected harpy who thinks she’s President, too. This is billed as a plus, and treated as such by media toadies.
bkmk
Of course Helicopter Mommy Jilly runs Lil Joey’s life ...
Makes sure Lil Joey isnt upset by nasty events ...
Dr. of Everything Jill is running the military?
Well “Dr.” Jill did announce she was a Government Official just a while ago. Her job is like Eleanor Roosevelt when her husband became incapacitated and she assumed his responsibilities as President.
It was just like our system of justice......”some” ask and get more justice than others and here, “some” have and expect more pull and privilege than others.
President Jill in action.
Ron Klain and Dr. Bitch are running the country.

Jill Biden=Edith Wilson
