Biden “exploded” knowing Ghani fled Kabul ahead of Taliban takeover, book claims

US President Joe Biden reacted with fury after learning that Ashraf Ghani had fled Kabul ahead of the Taliban takeover in August 2021, a new book claims.

Biden was on a vacation at Camp David when he was informed by his National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, that the then-president of Afghanistan had left the country as the Taliban fanned out across the capital and seized the presidential palace.
