DHS Secretary Kristi Noem refused to acknowledge the truth that the Trump administration approved the asylum application for Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the man charged with killing one National Guard soldier and seriously injuring a second in Washington, DC.

Noem repeatedly blamed the Biden administration for allowing the former Afghanistan fighter who served under the CIA for not vetting him properly. But Rep. Benny Thompson refused to let the puppy killer lie her way out of it.

The back and forth began here:

THOMPSON: I want to know who approved the asylum application for this same person?

.....................................

NPR reports that Lakanwal "received asylum protection from the Trump administration in April of this year, nearly four years after coming to the U.S."
