General H.R. McMaster told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Monday night that
Trump, while president, sought to negotiate with the Taliban as U.S.
troops began leaving Afghanistan, which undermined the Afghan
government. As a result, the U.S. government forced the Afghan
government to release 5,000 members of the Taliban.
The revelation puts the chaos of the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan
into greater context, as conservatives sought to lay much of the blame
onto Biden and successfully pushed that narrative into media coverage.

We knew this alreddy. But worth recycling.
