Special inspector general for Reconstruction (SIGAR) John Sopko said the is likely stealing US aid intended for the Afghan people as he knocked the Defense and State departments, and USAID for an 'unprecedented' lack of cooperation. 'I cannot assure this committee and the American taxpayer we are not currently funding the Taliban, nor can I assure you Taliban are diverting the funding from the intended recipients,' Sopko told the House Oversight Committee. Sopko noted that the U.S. has appropriated some $2 billion in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan and another $3.5 billion is slated to come in through an international fund.
