Graham demands hearings on Trump plan to withdraw troops from Syria

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is calling for hearings on President Trump's plans to withdraw troops from Syria and possibly Afghanistan.

"It is imperative Congress hold hearings on withdrawal decision in Syria - and potentially Afghanistan - to understand implications to our national security," Graham, a foreign policy hawk, said on Twitter.

"Especially we must NOW hear from the Pentagon about the likelihood of the rise of ISIS and the fate of our Kurdish allies in Syria," he added.

"As to the status of our Kurdish allies, the Administration has yet to tell the American people what happens to the Kurds - who fought so hard for us - when we leave. Is there a plan to protect our allies post withdrawal? Need answers now."
