U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul releases report on Afghanistan withdrawal.

McCaul says the report is not a political exercise that coincides with a tight presidential race.

He accuses White House officials of “stonewalling” the investigation, which he says is ongoing.

The committee's ranking Democrat , Gregory Meeks , criticizes the report as a collection of "cherry-picked witness testimony".

Paul McCaul : U.S. did not keep track of whether the Taliban were following the Doha Agreement .

He says the Taliban was in violation at the time the president made the decision to go to zero .

McCaul says the Afghan army was virtually defenseless when everything was pulled out.
