Pompeo said this week that Afghanistan was “stable” under the Trump administration. Pence wrote that Trump’s deal with the Taliban immediately gave Afghanistan “a stability unseen in decades.”

None of this is remotely accurate:

Washington (CNN) — There's been no shortage of fact-based criticism aimed at the Biden administration's handling of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

But some of the criticism from former Trump administration officials has departed from the truth.

In public statements this past week, former Vice President Mike Pence, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, and former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller have all slammed Biden in one way or another for the chaos that has unfolded in Afghanistan this month. While some of that criticism has been accurate, much of it has inaccurately tried to rewrite the Trump administration's own history on Afghanistan -- denouncing Biden while also misleadingly omitting the actions taken by Trump and his administration.

Here's a fact check of their claims.
