Senator freezes promotion of general who led during Afghanistan evacuation
Posted on 11/23/2024
A Republican senator from Oklahoma has frozen the promotion of a three-star general who led U.S. forces during the evacuation of Afghanistan, after months of Donald Trump’s pledges that as president he would fire any senior officer associated with the chaotic and traumatic mission.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin installed the hold against Lt. Gen. Christopher T. Donahue, according to a Senate official familiar with the matter and congressional correspondence reviewed by The Washington Post. The official, like some others in this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
