The Islamic extremist Taliban has received at least $239 million in U.S. aid aimed at counterterrorism after State Department vetting procedures fell apart, according to a government watchdog.
The government watchdog, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), issued a July 2024 report identifying at least 29 grants where the Taliban may have erroneously received counterterrorism funds.
SIGAR "investigators found that the State Department failed to comply with its own counterterrorism partner vetting requirements in Afghanistan," Judicial Watch reported.
The funds came from State Department divisions called "Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor" and "International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs."
The SIGAR report identified more than two dozen instances where these divisions failed to keep proper vetting records.

A June 2024 letter from the State Department claimed "the majority of the Department's Afghanistan-related awards fully complied" with vetting requirements" but acknowledged "the gaps in compliance highlighted in the report."

The state department is nothing but a den of snakes that needs to be shut down. They do nothing but damage to America. It should have been shut down after corrupt Hillary soiled all over it. The government is broke and in debt up to its eyeballs. Instead of cutting social security to elderly people we should close down all the useless government agencies. They do nothing but cost money and start wars.
Vetting? We don’t need no stinkin’ vetting.
Obama was on McCain’s eligibility committee however, congress never got around to vetting ineligible Barry from nowhere.
State Department vetting procedures fell apart.
Democrat party bosses chuckle with a wink and a nod.
Close, but no SIGAR...oh, wait.
