State Department trying to steal credit for saving four Americans from Afghanistan, rescue team claims

The Department of State stated on Monday that they had helped four Americans escape from Afghanistan, a claim the rescue team of the Americans responsible for the evacuation says is a lie.

Florida congressional candidate and former Army veteran Cory Mills said that he worked with a group of Army veterans to help the four Americans, a woman named Mariam and her three children, get out of Afghanistan and back home to the United States. Mills blasted the State Department for a statement released Monday implying that the evacuation had support from U.S. officials and that the Taliban permitted the operation, according to Fox News.
