National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan admitted Tuesday that the administration does not yet have a “complete picture” on the location of American defense equipment abandoned in Afghanistan.

“We don’t have a complete picture, obviously, of where every article of defense materials has gone,” the Biden adviser said. “But certainly, a fair amount of it has fallen into the hands of the Taliban, and, obviously, we don’t have a sense that they are going to readily hand it over to us at the airport.”

Florida Rep. Mike Waltz ripped the withdrawal Sunday night, saying the Taliban “have access to massive caches of heavy weaponry, artillery, armored vehicles, ammunition.”
